After:
He tends to get mats and knots in his fur in the summer, especially on his stomach and inner thighs. Each year it has been a struggle to get them out; I have to get him in the tub and then use clippers to take a few out at a time. Last year I got tired of it and had him clipped down. This year, he was not at all cooperative with receiving a haircut, so he had to be tranked.
The only problem now is Gracie, who is treating him as though he is a stranger, not the cat that she has lived with ever since she was 12 weeks old.
THAT is the exact haircut we got for my daughter's cat, Bitey. *(For the same reason.)
ReplyDeleteHe's been prancing about like a tarty little minx. I swear, the cat is part drag queen diva.
This is why I refuse to be adopted by a long-haired cat. My North American Shorthaired Alley Cats have no such problems. Although they seem to be world champion shedders (their hair grows just as fast as a long-hairs, but it's shorter... where did the excess hair go?! Yeppers, into my full vacuum cleaner bag!).
ReplyDelete- Badtux the Cat-owned Penguin
We have a long haired and a medium coated, both of whom could use this kind of haircut. Neither of them really like it when I give them baths to detangle the hair, though the medium coated tortoise shelled fmaile will let me vacuum her.
ReplyDeleteI like the puffy end of the George's tail!
Badtux, George is considered to be a "domestic shorthair" by all of the vets who have seen him. He does not have the multi-layered coat of a long-haired cat.
ReplyDeleteDCup, ask for a "lion cut." If George let me take care of his knots and mats, I wouldn't have had to do this to him.
That's fucking hilarious how you left that duster on the end of his tail! HAHAHAH!!!
ReplyDeleteI bet he goes chasing after it constantly cause it looks in his peripheral vision like a big fucking muskrat is about to bit him on the ass! HAHAHAHAH!
