Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004Dexter's Haircut
My daughter just sent me a pic of her cat. He's a Maine Coon, and has long fur that tends to be greasy. She gets him shaved every summer. I used to think it was awful, he looked like an alien cat, but I've changed my mind about it. He doesn't go outside, but stays in the enclosure a lot. In the summer he'd get matted really bad. Now he just *acts* so different. He acts happier, and definitely more comfortable. He doesn't look that bad once you get used to it. http://members.aol.com/greywolf17/dexter.jpg Sherry LOL's! I still rememeber the first time we did this to Winston(short for Winston Churchhill)(RB), he was a big, regal, aloof, pompous, smoke/blk Persian(with the BIGGEST, most beautiful, golden eyes you have EVER seen!!!)....after his haircut(that was really more of a lion cut) he became a friendly, loving lap fungus.....I suspect he knew the other kitties were laughing at him and he needed our extra support and loving pets and coos :-) Liz > My daughter just sent me a pic of her cat.

We'd probably give Xoxo and Rufous (our two long-haired cats) a haircut in the summer if they seemed unhappy. Apparently it's not hot enough for them right now (96 F) since they're both napping outside in the enclosure... :)  SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com I think it's a very dignified and *cool* look - hey comfort is more important than looks (ummmm.....at least that's the view I have now in the *wisened* age bracket of mine (30 (OMG almost 40!) something) <grin>) > My daughter just sent me a pic of her cat.
