Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Am 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 pissed 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 > > I had Rosie shaved. > [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > 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. Dear Miss Rosebud, I know how you must feel. My Meowmie catnapped me today and had me SHAVED!!! Please give your meowmie the ear or the tail, to help express my thanks for helping MY Meowmie get a good idea on how to shave ME!!!!! I feel so NAKED!!! And she even shaved my TAIL!! My BEAUTIFUL FLUFFY TAIL!!!! All that is left is a small poof at the end. My meowmie says its so cute, but i think it's HIDEOUS!!! Oh the humility!!! What wil I.... *Click* What the..... MISCHIEF!!!! COME BACK HERE WITH THAT CAMERA!!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!! Mayhem Hoomin note: I wasn't planning on shaving her tail, but as I was trying to shave her, her tail kept getting in the way. And i ended up shaving a small part off, so i figured might as well shave the rest of it. The poof at the end DOES look cute. But OH is she giving me the look of death. I fed her dinner and i think she's hiding under the bed now trying to find her dignity. I expect angst tonight when i'm trying to sleep. but she does look cute and her fluffy fur markings are STILL there. http://new.photos.yahoo.com/krysfamulan/album/576460762324993009/photo/294928804 358598730/13 Sorry for the long URL.

Except for the snickering form me, DH (and the other cats :D), she seems to enjoy her new haircut. She is *much* more active!

(And proud of it, too)© > email me at nalee1964 (at) insightbb (dot) comhttp://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep Any photos please? S;o) 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*?!?!?!) >I had Rosie shaved. > [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > email me at nalee1964 (at) insightbb (dot) com > http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep > 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. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep If you weren't a bad meowmie for shaving her, you are now for posting pictures for the world to see! ;) 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.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. > 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. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://community.webshots.com/user/mgcmdjeep Adorable! I think she's quite cute and I'm sure she'll be more comfortable in the summer heat, as well.

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..

Longhairs are usually tiny under all that fur, but she's huge. :) > 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. I have to say, she looks better after the shave. She just looks cooler and probably more comfortable. > (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*?!?!?!) I don't know - it took forever to play, too. And it kept stopping and freezing on an image for a while before continuing. Webshots photos take forever to load, too. I think it's because of all the advertising on the site. I don't know why the videos are slow, though. Joyce |
