    Need Opinions on Josh's Ear Hair!! **MORE PIX**

    Josh has very long ear hairs, longer than even his look-a-like Jack, and longer than Pooky's!

    The problem is Josh's ear hairs turn DOWNWARD instead of curling back. They are really close to poking him in the eye (although it hasn't yet) and I think it's still growing!

    I'm trying to decide if I should wait and hope his hairs start curling back or if I should trim them before they poke his eyes. Unless someone knows of a way to get the darn things curled back, I've even thought of eyelash curlers! ROFL

    I rarely trim ear hairs unless it's tickling a cats ears or causing it to scratch it's ears, and it doesn't seem to bother Josh. He is cute with long ear hairs, but it looks bizarre sticking out like this!!

    SHOULD I....

    1) TRIM IT?

    2) LEAVE IT?

    3) CURL IT? (suggestions how to do that)


    Here are pix of how his ear hairs look.







    Here's a pix of Jack's ear hairs

    I agree with Sandra, the more ear hair there is, the more you can enjoy it!
    He could start a trend amongst the most fashion concious felines on PT!

    If you believe the hairs are bothersome, feel free to trim them. But they are adorable.

    That is what makes his so adoreable and I would leave them as they are. Looks like they can grow a lot more before they would be a problem to him. He is just to adoreable!

    Need opinions on Josh's ear hair

    Unless Josh is bothered by it, my vote is let it be. He's a real cutie but the ear hair seems to add something to his appearance by making him even cuter.

    How cute he looks, ear hair or not! I think he'd miss them if you trim - and you know, they're there for a reason.

    Leave it! That hair is there to protect his ears from critters and stuff that is not good to get into the ear canals. Besides, it looks just so darned cute!

    Josh's ear tufts

    Don't trim them. They look fine to me. What a beautiful cat.
