Okay I am hoping that someone out there can tell me what I have here. Now I already know it is a cat, so no smart comments from the peanut gallery please. What I would like to know is, does anyone know what sort of cat it is. This kitten has very strange eyes. He also looks to be the fluffy sort of kitten. The pictures are not as clear as I would like, but it did not matter which way I tried to take them, they would not get any clearer.
Thanks for any help in advance.

My first guess is it's a ceramic cat.

Thank you one and all.
Zazzie yes it is a very scary looking cat, I almost said that in my first post, but decided to leave that bit out. It almost made my daughter jump out of her skin when she first saw it, and my big dog ran away from it. LOL
So.........what do I list this wonderful item as. Any ideas at all anyone. It is made of some sort of either hard plastic or resin material, could be filled with plaster it is hard to tell, all I know is that it has made in Italy on the base, but no makers name of hint as to what sort of cat it is.
I personaly think it is a witches cat, cause it is really spooky to look at.

It's a Fuane' Cat.
They're native to Taiwan.

Come on KRS give me a clue, some of us are not as intellectually adept as you and we need a bit more help than that.
I might have believed you if you had of said it was a domestic carnivorous quadruped, but I must be dumb because I do not know what a Fuane' cat is.
Hey it was made in Italy so maybe I can list it as a Venetian Cat.

It looks like a Turkish Angora to me. Not the very best depiction of one. Or, it really could be Satan.

Just - Uh - wondering if the eyes are reflective? Set that sucker on the shelf where you can see it at night and see how much sleep you get.
You could really be mean to little kids with that.

My vote is for Satan.
Gravid I actually left it in the kids' bathroom and turned the light out just to see what the reaction would be from whoever when in there first. It turned out to be my daughter and believe me she was not very polite to her mother last night. My niece also tells me it is scary, and I can not even sit in the same room with it unless it is turned away from me. I tell you it is a very spooky cat.

That really is a scary cat, but not because of the eyes. I thought you were asking about a real cat, and when that picture came up it scared the heck out of me!

Chococake, it tends to have that effect with everyone who looks at it. LOL It is just a very spooky cat.
I think I will have to list it as a Very Freaky Cat, that was my sister's idea, as she said it will get a lot of lookers even if it does not sell. I am too afraid to toss the thing out in case it comes back to haunt me or something.

It is a Werecat, feline cousin to those lovable wolves. That figure is a kitten. Full grown Werecats are bigger. You think the ceramic version is spooky, check this out.

Thank you for the link, that was a very scary picture, when I first saw it I very quickly scrolled down the page like a chicken, because I did not want to be looking at that thing. Just call me chicken hearted.
I like this bit.
what's a werecat? I mean, any specific traits,
characteristics? =)
Well, for one thing, they are almost always HIGHLY empatic...other supernatural
charchteristics can include the ability to heal others, and a sense of
premonition. They are usually on their guard around unfamiliar people, places,
or things, and are always ready to act at any given second. Most also seem to
have and extra-sensory "vision" such as seeing paranormal activity like ghosts
for instance. They are highly mental people, and usually very creative. They
like to kick back and relax, except for the occational prowling of the
neighborhood children!
Now I see that the eyes aren't really spooky at all, they are just extra sensory vision. LOL They can tell if there are any real spookies around, because they are highly mental. LOL That was too funny to pass up.

Me thinks Stephen King had that one in mind when he wrote "Pet Sematary".
