Ahh, the memories

I like to check out cat_aunty's blog and gawk at the pics of her cats. Recently an abandoned Persian called Max has come into her life, and she managed to get him adopted. Happy endings for all.

[Dammit why does no one want Lucie and Boonie? StoopidstoopidSTOOPID. Aww shuddup.]

For weeks, while I ogled at pics of a shaven Max [his fur was terribly matted when he first came along], I kept thinking he looked awfully familiar.

Then it hit me while I was taking a shower! Thankfully Pip "Princess of Perverts" wasn't around STARING INTENSELY AT MY SOAPY PRIVATE BITS or I would have been too distracted to remember this hilarious internet urban legend. Here goes.

**********

"My sister-in law is from Oklahoma and has a slight accent. She has cats and when she lived in the south she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a Line Cut. To her a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat's tummy is taken off (because it gets matted or snarled).

"When she moved to Chicago with my brother, one of the cats fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a line cut. She was quite surprised when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a line cut was and he said "yes, I know what a LION cut is." It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her.

"She cried for a week . . . but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had."

When I first saw these pics I laughed so hard I cried. Enjoy.

it is nice reading your blog..i also have two cats. the latest of my third cat died on tue..*sign*..it is a newly abandoned cat too..
 
Eeek! I hope no one ever tries cutting MY long lovely hair or there will be bloodshed. My mum did cut a big clump of hair off last night because I had a tangle, but that doesn't count.
 
Hahahaha, CatDonna....you so funny lah! Anyway, I will try to post a pix of Max's new coat soon, a quasi-lion cut. And Max said thank you for thinking of him.
 
Omigoodnessgraciousme!!! The poor thing! He looks utterly miserable! Gosh... how long did it take him to grow out his coat again?

jennifer: sorry to hear. If this cat is newly abandoned, he probably already had some serious condition that led to his previous owners making that decison. So don't blame yourself or anything [I know that's tempting]... at least he died knowing that you cared. :)

fat eric: you've got so much lovely long hair! I'm sure nobody will want to cut it. Makes you ever so cuddly. :)

cat_aunty: I saw Max's new cut! So cool!!! :)

5CS: I dunno how long it took... but I never really saw a cat glare daggers until I saw that pic! :)

BTW all... the pics are real and undoctored. The story isn't real, though... that part's the URBAN LEGEND!!! *cue scary music*
 
No one will shave me until like that. I will give them a scratch or two before they can take me prisoner.

oh my goodness! puss in boots! poor thingy.
 
You have a point Kim Kim! What kind of cat would allow such atrocities to herself?

This cat is a wuss. Like Chaos cat says, a wuss in boots.

Oh look ha ha I have insulted another animal today!

Naughty Pip!
