Is it just me or is this pig and his wellies just about the cutest thing ever? Cinders apparently suffers from mysophobia, a fear of dirt. I am hoping Wellington Boots will make teeny tiny galoshes commercially available. They could be the only hope for my cat's debilitating case of agrostophobia.

Cinders is using her celebrity to raise money for the Farm Crisis Network. I'm thinking my cat (with the proper footwear) would make an excellent spokesanimal for the Society for Lazy Unemployed Goodfornothings, that's right SLUG.

I think that generally the accepted solution for pigs that don't like dirt is bacon and/or ham. The mass production of these boots could inflate hog-sourced meat prices even higher and continue our downward trend towards a tofu-oriented society.

Apparently refusing to join your porky siblings as they splash around in the mud qualifies you as mysophobic. But considering this little stunt saved her from becoming a sausage, I think it qualifies her as animal savant. I'm sure her poor splashy siblings are seasoned, wrapped in casing, and ready to be grilled up!
