My parents have a cat named Rachel. (To me she's puddin' head or fatty kitty or psycho, depending on my mood and her's.) I had to take her to the groomer today for her first (and possibly only) haircut. Yeah, we had her hair shaved except for her head and legs from about the knees down. (Do cats have knees?) It's like a cut you'd give a poodle except there's no poof on the end of her tail. She is a sight to see now, especially with her fatty saggy tummy which is now plenty visible with no hair to hide behind. I figured she'd be insulted and mad at me and yet she just wanted to be petted once I let her out of her cat carrier (I think that's maybe her 2nd time ever in it). This cat is not overly friendly and will not let me hold her, so petting her now all shaved was the coolest thing! Plus she smells soooo much better so quite possibly might become a regular thing. Cats with poddle haircuts could become a hot commodity. Yay me for a possible new trend.
