I have never published a photo of a cat on my blog before. This is because I believe it is a cheap way to gain visitors to your blog. I have vowed never to stoop so low.
However, I recently stopped in at Borderlands Books to say hi to Jude and sign stock. A visit to Borderlands also means hanging out with Ripley the store cat. Ripley is the weirdest looking cat I have ever seen. She’s a Sphynx, who are hairless space aliens. Ripley was recovering from surgery and attired in an old t-shirt to protect her stitches. This made her somewhat grumpy. As it would.
Fortunately there is now a second Borderlands cat, Ash, who deigned to gift us with her presence:
She’s only pretending to not be interested in How To Ditch Your Fairy. She actually LOVED it. She has a people fairy. They will do whatever she wants them to.
She can also fly. This photo was taken just before take-off:
And here she is investigating the strange new person:
Fortunately she decided not to have me killed. Phew, eh?
When I saw the pictures “what the hell is that?” instantly came out! I thought it was ET. But Ripley is a very cute cat.
The copies of How To Ditch Your Fairy look soooooo cool!
Mahek: That’s not Ripley, that’s Ash. She is very cute indeed.
I like that you can see her stripes even though she doesn’t have fur.
In that last picture, it appears that she is about to feast upon your eye. Back away, Justine! Back away!
I got your book yesterday, and it is beautiful. I LOVE the cover. You must be so proud!
I also liked the cat pictures. 😉
not only are there copies of htdyf but there is a bogus to bubbly GIVE IT TO ME
Julia Rios: Clearly, she needs my eye more than I do.
Chris: Isn’t it gorgeous? I love that Charlie got her face back.
Haddy-la: That’s Scott’s copy that he brought to show the Borderlands people. It will be out soon. Patience!
I just finished HTDYF today and loved it! Also, hairless cats? Maybe I wouldn’t die a horrible death/ be allergic to that one..
i know this kitty!
a friend and i were leaning against the big borderlands window waiting for someone,
when the cat came out of nowhere,
and my friend screamed!
He’s a 20 year old dude, btw.
HILARIOUS!
omg i see the bogus to bubbly!
*dies*
Oh, I didn’t realise there were two cats. Since when did cats have stripes?
