What is this???????

[smbolisnch]

What is THAT? That's what strangers say about Linus when they meet him for the first time. They either say he is the ugliest or wierdest thing they have ever seen. We like to think he is absolutely gorgeous and they are just jealous. Usually he has his hair trimmed, but he was overdue in this photo.

He was a rescue that we adopted several years ago, and acts NOTHING like a cat. He doesn't even associate with our other cats. He is strictly a dog man. So, have any of you seen a cat like this before? We would love to know if there are others like Linus out there in the world. We think of him as the Mr. Winkle of cats. :silly:

1. Did he swallow

a lit candle? :D

(he's quite lovely, I think - of course, I tend to like some pretty strange animals...)

I think he's cool, though. Thanks for adopting.

Here he is, with his hair trimmed. This was the only decent pic I have on the computer!

13. wow

King of the Jungle. I can just imagine him prancing and strutting around after being newly trimmed. Any ordinary cat should be in awe.

He really is an attractive and beautiful kitty.

Thanks for posting the lion cut.

14. Thank you for posting a picture of him. This has been great therapy!

I had the biggest giggle fit. Your description of "What is that?" right below the picture did me in. My family thought I was nuts! I have needed a stress relief and this was it. He is a great looking cat!

[smbolisnch]

15. Awwwww, Good!

I am so glad to hear that! Everyone has been so stressed and upset, I am happy (and Linus is happy) he could be of assistance.
He really is so damned cute. I just adore him! Glad you got a laugh or two!! :hug: Let me know if you need more, I'll keep the pictures coming! lol

[smbolisnch]

17. Nooooo!

He is really very sweet and snuggly, I promise! You would fall in love with him, if you got to meet him in person!

19. Who Moi???

[n2mark]

20. Animal eyes

All of my pictures of past cats and presents dogs are usually red or shine in pictures. I've never understood this. There must be an explanation.

[smbolisnch]

21. I'm not sure...

If you figure it out, let me know. Linus' seem to be especially bad for pictures! :shrug:
