Eddicus nudus felis?

More to the point, what were the hospital bills for the shave and a haircut?

[kitten645]

A Chilly one? Even in Cali it's COLD!

I was thinking along a similar line -- trimmum Edwardum. Awww, Edster, you got a haircut :(

[Lady's Human]

I was referring more to the hospital bills of the Vet Tech who trimmed him.:D

[Catty1]

kitten645 - RICHARD moved to Kentucky last year. I don't know if it's even colder there? :eek:

Lookin' good, Ed!:D

TWO BITS - sorry, couldn't help it. ;)

Why'd Ed get shaved?

[Karen]

I'm guessing a mortified one!

[happylabs]

If that is Ed, I am feeling very sorry for him. :confused:

[Freedom]

Come on Richard, IS that Ed? Poor fella!

[zippy-kat]

He's not completely nekked, he has his UGGs on.


Poor Eddie, Gus is going to have to have this done soon.

[shais_mom]

Poor Eddie! I used to have to do this with Kylie too. Poor guy. :-) I have some clippers if u want to buy them! ;-)

[catmandu]

I would say that Eddie is a little White Lion!!!
I remembered when My Moose the MagnfiCat had to be shaved and people laughed.
He couldn't get back in his carrier fast enough.
But no one hear will laugh at the Edster , he's a Great Cat:love::love::love:

[maid25cats]

I was thinking along the same lines as kitten 645
A Cold Cat!:D

zippy-kat that uggs boot comment had me LOL :D:D

He looks like hes in need of a sweater... or a fluffy dog
to keep him warm:love::D
HE DOES NOT LOOK AMUSED:D

[kaycountrygal]

I suppose you're joking and you know it is a cat with a lion cut. I used to have the groomer give my Luke a lion cut but not in the winter. Is there a medical reason for the lion cut in January?

[RICHARD]

Ed had to go to the vet for his shots, so I thought I'd go for broke.....

Ed DOESN'T like his belly touched, A few scritches and he'll give you a nip to let you know that that area is off limits!

I took him to PetCo once and the groomer told me that he couldn't finish the job because Ed would not let him touch his belly....

He offered to finish the job - at no cost - if I brought him back at a later date.....I thought about it and said, "No thanks, you have suffered enough already..."

The NEXT time I took him in to get trimmed, I walked into the same place, put the carrier on the counter and told the guy what I wanted.

The poor dude looked into the carrier and said, "OH, I remember this cat, he freaked out when I tried to shave his belly...."

-------------

As a parent, this crushed my spirit. My kid is supposed to be well behaved in public!

I told him to do the best he could and left it at that. I walked out crushed, but still believing my kid is better than YOURS....;)

--------

I vowed never to be embarrassed again so I bought a pair of clippers (thanks Shai's Mom) and tried to do it myself.

(Can you say stupid?)

Ed coat came in from the last attempt at trimming and was getting matted, so I decided to take him in and get him vaccinated and while they were at it, get a physical and trim.

He was a little ticked off the day he came home - I think the anesthetic rattled him because the gal said he was coming out of it and she didn't get the chance to brush him out.............can you say 'combative'?:eek:


-----------

So, I just thought he should get a little 'spa' time......

His check up was perfect and other than a little consternation?

He's doing well.

He sends regards to all concerned and reminds everyone that his hair will grow out.

------------


Uggs? :p:D

[Lady's Human]

Patch sends his sympathies. I don't even want to THINK about trying to do that to him.

[zippy-kat]

zippy-kat that uggs boot comment had me LOL :D:D


HE DOES NOT LOOK AMUSED:D


I can't blame him for not looking amused - I loathe Ugg boots, too. ;)
(Last year, I saw a lady in the mall wearing white hairy ones -all over hairy, not just the tops- I'm not sure what look she was trying to rock but it came across as "clydesdale.")

Poor, Ed. I will post pics of Gus when I'm able to get him taken care of. Misery loves company, right?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

It's an embarrassed cat who is gonna get you first chance he gets. :D:love:

[krazyaboutkatz]

Poor naked Ed.:( Sky also had to have a kennel cut which is shorter than a lion cut last year because his belly was also very matted. He had been to the groomers several times before and he had become so aggressive and nasty towards them that he now has to take a sedative before he goes there. So far his coat hasn't even grown out yet and he hasn't matted so maybe he won't need to go back again. My RB Storm would also mat as he became older. He just didn't want to groom himself any more.:( I hope that you'll keep the heat up so that Ed won't get too cold this winter.
