Sirius was named for the brightest star in the night sky, but was that because he's bright, or because he resembles the classic pop culture conception of aliens from a distant planet? Sirius is a Cornish rex, but they don't all have his good looks. What distinguishes the Cornish rex breed is the absence of fur, specifically they have only a down coat instead of three layers of fur that most cats have. They almost always have big ears, too. Sirius is exceptional even among his breed for his alien face. But Sirius doesn't care what he looks like, and he's not about to change his facial expressions just to make humans more comfortable. He's got a wonderful home with Katya, who sees his personality and appreciates Sirius for the delightful cat he is. See more of Sirius and Meo at Instagram. (via Laughing Squid)
