So... after much patient waiting and many months of contemplation, hairy, hairy Cainan the Catman is revealed. The photo doesn't quite show how much mustache twirling has been going on, but it does give you an idea of how much hair there is to deal with on a daily basis.

Ok here it is... Is that it's a clear signal to other women that the man is in hairy question is already taken so they should not set their sites on him. All the hair is like a "FAMILY IN PROCESS" label. I must admit that it's quite uncomfortable to have so much facial hair, yet liberating just the same. Everyone knows and assists the social aspects of the process. Its such a pleasure to live and work in an environment that is harmonious with life's natural processes. Blessings and Peace from Cainan the Catman Once we get home with the baby, then it all cames off. Beard and hair. It is like a cleansng process, a stripping away of nine months of hair records to make a fresh start... Then you may see a hairless manx cat to create a balance. .....The Hairy One explained. |
