A popular blogger and MMA fighter has reported the disappearance of his beloved heavily-tattooed Sphynx cat after it escaped through a window.

Blogger ‘Kara Fight’, also heavily-tattooed, reported that his hairless cat Bes had escaped from his home in the city of Yekaterinburg in the south-western Russian region of Sverdlovsk Oblast on Instagram for his 230,000 followers.

The MMA fighter wrote: “Bes jumped out of the window and disappeared into the darkness and surrounding tall grass. I searched for him myself, everywhere and everywhere, calling out his name, but to no avail.

“The next day, my boys organised themselves and about 15 people combed the area, but were unable to find him.”

The mean-looking Sphynx cat is easy to recognise thanks to its array of body tattoos which include a female face on its back and a fanned deck of cards on its chest.

According to the owner, the cat’s last tattoo was inked “three or four years ago” and he no longer plans to continue decorating his hairless feline.

Russian animal rights groups have slammed the tattooing of hairless breeds which is carried out in veterinary clinics and is considered safe albeit somewhat painful for the animal, according to reports.

Elizabeth Skorynin, head of the Yekaterinburg Animal Rehabilitation Centre, said: “Anyone can choose to put their pet through this pain in order to wear these designs for the rest of its life. The animal has no choice, it is purely the owner’s own wishes.”
