RESEARCH INTO 'SKIN CATS' aka sphynx cats

taken from google

These possibly have to be the weirdest things to look at. They're really quite captivating, I find they kind of make people laugh. I really want to include them in my work in some way, as I feel it will be a good way of putting my proverb across in a way that isn't too grim to look at, nothing too gory along the lines of skinning a cat. 

Their faces are brilliant and are always a main focal point in images. Their eyes always look intense, and attract the viewer to keep on looking. 

Trying to see if there were any actual connections between sphynx cats and my proverb anywhere on the internet, I came across a sphynx cat...with twitter...who had tweeted my proverb. Amazing.

I also came across this little article on the blog 'Adventures of a Naked Cat'.

Here, various cat proverbs/sayings are mentioned:

We're letting the cat out of the bag. 
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
The cat's pyjamas.

Beauty is skin deep.

There are some great images on there, if not slightly odd.
