Am I a mean Meowmie?
I had Rosie shaved.
Not just her klingon area, from her shoulders back to the last 1 inch of tail. TED said that she was a very good kitty while being shaved - just lay there and let them shave her, all the while with this "help me" look on her face. She looks silly - but yet still cute. She has a lion's mane, wearing big puffy sleeves and 'chaps', and had a puff on the tip of her tail. The rest of her has been trimmed back to maybe 1/4 of an inch (6mm) long. Where she was black, she is now grey! All the other long haired cats we had, their fur that was long was the guard hairs (the stiffer hairs). Not Rosie. Her under-fur was the long stuff! It was very fine, soft and puffy - and matted super-easy! I decided to get her saved *before* she really started shedding this spring/summer. At first, she seemed a bit of a grump about it, but I think she was more ****ed off that she was 'man-handled' for the procedure than anything. She appears to really appreciate the short fur now - she's been playing and chasing Barney & Bam-Bam (the only two who will "play" with her). But it is funny to watch her flick that bit of puff at the end of her tail giggle. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

It's kind of startling at first...but cute, too! She really seems to enjoy it every year. PatM |

PatM I usually give Possum a similar cut in late spring/early summer because he's not very good at reaching his back when he grooms. He hates the process, but doesn't seem to mind the results Kristy |

hehehe how ironic that you post this.
Cause my plan tomorrow is to kidnap Mayhem and have HER shaved I figured short booties and I'll leave her tail fluffy. She IS particular about her tail. I think getting shaves is one thing but if i shaved her tail she REALLY would be mad Kristi ps wish me luck on catching her tomorrow. |

OK - I uploaded one very poor "before" picture (she's not even looking at
the camera), but you can tell how long her fur was. Then there are 2 "after" pictures, and webshots now lets one upload *videos*. I did the video so you could see the effect of the "lion puff" on the tip of her tail. See my webshots page, in the "Rosebud" album: http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep (it's still uploading the movie file, so give it a bit before you try to view it... I thought broadband (cable) internet hookup was supposed to be *faster*?!?!?!) "Magic Mood Jeep" wrote in message ... I had Rosie shaved.

And the vid... I was just going to take a drink of tea when she started waving her tail... I'm glad I hadn't had time to take the drink, because I rolled around laughing (don't tell Rosie I laughed at her). It just looks so funny with the skinny, skinny tail, and then the wavy poof at the end. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

I have Birmans and Ragdolls & I am even considering cutting their fur down this year. The poor things sit there panting all day with their tongues hanging out.... laughing aside, it is simply too hot for them.. Thanx for the photos BTW, they were great , lol.. S;o) |
