Q: I saw this photo from a cat show on Yahoo News and thought the feline in question looked fantastic. I think a crocheted beanie would really bring out the regal nature of my Cornish Rex too, but my girlfriend says it's mean to dress a neutered animal like a pimp. What do you say?

A: Let's see ... crocheted beanies, testicle removal, cats, and potentially listening to a girlfriend's advice ... you sure you're at the right web site? Anyhow, our cat-lovin' nizzle, forget the pimp comparison and focus on the rap mogul comparison. If crocheted beanies are good enough for a cool cat like Snoop Dogg, they be good enough for your Cornish Rex.
