I was suspicious of it, too, so when I noticed it I called the vet to ask.
They said that Sundance had been trying to avoid the shaver, and some
whiskers got cut accidentally when he was moving his head around. They must
have trimmed the rest to match, but I think I would have left as many as
possible.

Anti Sandy, not really happy about it, either

I have a cousin who literally cut ALL of his family cat's whiskers off
when he was a kid (my cousin, not the cat). People may think it's
cute and funny and a joke and go, "ha-ha-ha hey, look at the cat
without whiskers", but it's actually quite dangerous for a cat to have
its whiskers messed with in any way, shape or form. They use their
whiskers, IIRC, as an early warning system so that they don't bump
into things. For a vet to clip all the cat's whiskers "just so they
are all even" borders on cruelty, IMNSHO. It's ridiculous.

Mmmmmmm! Purrs fur Sundance. Hissspits fur TED.
If they're going to shave a cat, they should know how to do it without
cutting whiskers. After all, that's why they are vets, isn't it?...
because they are supposed to know this stuff. I bet TED still charged
plenty, just as though he/she knew what she/he was doing and had the skills
fur tha job.

This is why I was unhappy about the whiskers. I don't know that they
trimmed them to make them even, I was just guessing. As a matter of fact,
they aren't all even, I just find it hard to believe that they would
"accidentally" cut all of them.

However, this is the first time anything like this has happened at this vet
in over 20 years, so I'm not going to leave them over it. I will bring it
up again, though.

No, I was surprised to see that they didn't charge for the shaving, just the
office visit.

Well that's something in their favour. However it shows that they know
what they did was wrong. It sounds like they were training a new vet or
assistant who was new and had never done it before. Perhaps they
misunderstood the instructions and thought "shaving" meant the whiskers
too. Then when you came they dded the story about the cat struggling and
it being accidental, (almost like it was the cat's fault). I can see that
happening.

I once picked up a cat from being spayed (HoneyCat), and the vet had
previously said to make sure she stayed warm and dry after the surgery. When
they brought her out to me, she was completely soaking wet, just dripping.
The teenager carrying her announced, "He turned over his water." I was so
irritated on so many levels that I didn't say anything or even ask for help,
just grabbed the carrier, went back into the back of the clinic as the
teenager stared at me, and proceeded to pull towels out of the cabinets and
dry the cat myself.
