Kitten Real?

And here I was thinking it might be the nictitating membrane... I think it may be a ragdoll kitten. Two more beers and I'll have a definite opinion...

LOL Absynthe, I'll await your final analysis What the heck is a nictitating membrane btw? Sounds painful ROTFL.

Don't know. But I've seen like stuffed cats like that (or not?) before, and I think it's a bit strange to stuff a cat! I dunno, it seems a bit disturbing to me, the thought of it. :shudder:

Oh sheesh Dron Cah, I was meaning "stuffed cat" as in a fake stuffed animal, not like an actual animal being, you know, stuffed... I hope that is not what that picture is.

Well, yeah, but remember where I live? Yes, I've seen them...

My good Lady Wendy, after contemplating that picture through beers four and five, and misspelling the word nicti-something a half-dozen times while consuming beer #6, I'm just going to call it the third eyelid, cuz that's much easier to spell. Kitties have this cool membrane thingy that covers their eyes from side to side underneath their main up and down eyelids, and I dimly recall why it's there... nope, killed that brain cell with beer #7. Maybe for extra protection from sun and sand as they evolved as desert animals to begin with.
And I'm pretty convinced that that picture is real, as it blinked.

LMAO!! Um, if the picture is blinking, Absynthe, then I definitely agree, the cat must be real. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

EDIT: and, is it, "nictating?"

Fake.Awefully cute but fake.I hope this has an answer and is not just our opinions because if I'm wrong I'd love to see what a full grown of this breed looks like.Given it's head and paw size relitive to it's body, full grown this thing would be huge,and with color so much liken to a sled dog I'd love to see other pictures of the breed.
