Ever seen a Tortie with a lion cut??? *pics*

Well, now you will.

Meowmie decided it was too hot around North Carolina, and that Penny was due for her first lion cut! I have never done one before, so... This is how it turned out!

It looks like the hair is all different lengths, but it isnt. The darker colors make it look all different lengths.


What do you think for a first try? I know that Penny LOVES it! She is such a happy little one now. And I am happy because I dont have to clean poopy butt every day when I wake up!

Hope you enjoyed!!! :D

Wow! You sure are brave to do this by yourself.:eek: She sure looks like she's happier now and I bet this will really help her to keep cool.:)

Aww! Little Kitty Uggs! She looks happy!

Thank you both! She was bad the whole time, but she did not bite me like I thought. She tried, but did not "bite down". I am just proud of myself, never shaved an animal before by myself.
Anyways, she is super happy, and now I am glad that I did it :D

I might end up having to do that with Clover. Now that the summer months are here, she's probably going to be boiling soon, with her mostly black coat and crazy thick and medium-long fur!
But boy does it look funny! It's cute, and very practical, but whenever I see a lion-cut I just have to giggle and hum the lion king's Circle of Life :rolleyes: :p ;)

Penny Looks So Happy With Her New Hairdo And For A Non Professional You Did A Great Job.
The Found Cats Are Telling Me Dont Even Think About Us With A Lion Cut Dad.
I Wonder How Joseph Would Look With One.

Se looks MARVELOUS!!! You did a fantastic job!!!!!!!! (and that is coming from a professional ;) ) Seriously, WOW! :eek:

And I bet she feels great too! I found many, MANY cats just LOVE the feel f the short hair. :)

That's one COOL cat! :p

A co-worker of mine thinks it's inhumane to shave a cat. Of course, this woman has the mentality of a bag of hair.

Hi Penny! You look wonderful in your new lion cut. With the weather being so darn hot I'm sure you're going to feel much better and a whole lot cooler. Not only that, who wants to clean poopy butt when they first wake up?

What a fine new hair style! Penny certainly looks happy with it, too.

WOW!!! You did a great job. Penny looks so adorable with that cut.
Would you like to come over and do Nugget for me? He needs one badly.

Are you sure that is YOUR cat??!! That sure looks like my RB Fluffy that just passed in his younger days! (he was a tabby-Main Coon mix)


Wow, got LES just looking at her! I sure miss my Puff ! :(


But your Penny will love you for that cut - it keeps them SOOOO cool during the summer!

Great job!! :D

Ahahaha! :D That is cute!

My, Miss Penny your meowmie did a wonderful job! You look MARVELOUS! :D I know all about cleaning poopie butts. I used to keep Ellie shaved like this. He LOVED it! He was like a kitten every time I would shave him. The best thing was not smelling something a midnight, and realizing it was the cat! :eek: I can't count the number of late night baths I gave.

Thank you all for your nice comments!

Lorraine, I would love to come over and try doing it on Nugget, but, if I come, I cant promise I wont steal Poppy from you!

And Jen, thank you very much! Thank you also for your advice.

And Catsnclay, I am so sorry about your Puff. It must be hard remembering such a beloved kitty. How about we share Penny? You can be her 2nd meowmie! She is sweet, and will do anything for treats and scritches :p !
