Consider the variety of wild felines, many about the size of a house cat, some considerably larger and some much smaller, no larger as adults than a three-month-old house kitten. Of these cat strains many cannot be tamed at any age - so fierce and wild in their little cat spirits.
But patience, dedication and cross-breeding...two-pound hairless cats, sinuous as weasels, incredibly delicate, with long, thin legs, needle teeth, huge ears and eyes of a bright, amber color. This is but one of the exotic strains that fetch staggering prices in the cat markets...flying and gliding cats...a cat that is bright electric blue, giving off a faint smell of ozone...aquatic cats with webbed feet (he surfaces with a cutthroat trout in his jaws)...delicate, thin, light-boned swamp cats with large, flat paws - they can skim over quicksand and mud with incredible speed...tiny lemur cats with with huge eyes...a scarlet, orange and green cat with reptile skin, a long sinewy neck and poison fangs - the venom is related to that of the blue-ringed octopus: two steps and you fall on your face, an hour later you're dead skunk cats with a deadly spray that kills in seconds like claws in the heart...and cats with poison claws squirting venom from a large gland in the center of the foot.
