Pink Cat

It took me a while to parse the above sentence. Nothing wrong with how
you've written it, I just got confused. I thought you were saying that
your son had long hair, which had to be shaved periodically!! Then I got
confused by the reference to "her" fine hair. Yes, I saw the hyphen
between "long" and "hair", but the fact is, lots of people put hyphens
in places where they don't belong, so I usually ignore them. In this
case, though, the hyphen was not only correct, but key to understanding
the sentence: the "long-hair" was the cat!! (Duh)

As for the pink cat, what a doofus that kitty's human must be! I'm not
convinced the dye is harmful to the cat - unless it had harsh chemicals
in it - but it's probably disorienting for the kitty to look down and
see its fur looking so *wrong*.

Also, as someone else commented: WHY??

The poor cat does look very unhappy. But that *is* the "lion cut" - grooming
places shave long-haired cats like Persians in this cut frequently -
especially here in south FL as long-haired cats are pretty miserable in
summer because of the heat - never mind fur matting.
Nothing cruel about the grooming cut, I think, BUT I sure hope that pink is
food coloring.
I bet this was someone's idea of a Halloween getup for their poor pet. I
hope it IS plotting dastardly revenge on the perpetrator.

Yes, I know. In fact, I have a friend who gives lion cuts to long-haired
cats for the summer, and it can be helpful both for the heat and to control
mats. It's that pink color *combined* with the lion cut that looks so
dreadful -- sort of like people who dress their cats in doll clothes and and
talk about how "cute" it is. It just looks unnatural, and they distorted
the natural beauty of a cat.

I liked Krista's Blue Mike much much much better.

Didn't someone here dye their cat (or portions of it, I seem to recall an
orange belly) with food coloring for Halloween??

Stacey hurridly hides the pictures of her cats in doll clothes.

strange clothing, too)

I once accidentally dyed parts of Tanada green while making St.
Patrick's Day cupcakes. But she made me pay for it later.

Well, Mike did dye *himself* blue by rolling around in chalk - maybe
this kitty got to pick out her color as well?

Seriously, that's an awful thing to do to a poor kitty. When I saw
the pic I was hoping it wasn't real. :-(

You know, it occurred to me that maybe that cat wasn't dyed at all -
maybe someone was just having fun with Photoshop. Like those pictures
in "Why Paint Cats?"
