    A trip to the groomers...

    Not sure where this originated from.... Andy's mom sent it to me via email...


    "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. (see Photos Below) 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."

    Gas in car to go to groomers ~ $4.50

    Cat car carrier ~ $32.99

    Grooming fee ~ $80.00

    Getting the look from one seriously ticked off cat ~ Priceless!

    I've seen a cat with that cut. But her 'boots' were more like Go-go boots, this one has 'Muck-a-lucks' on (Eskimo boots)

    OMG! What is this new breed called?

    POOR BABY!!! I feel SO sorry for it! It looks so sad! Poor thing. If that was my cat, I think I would cry my head off for months until all its fur would grow back! It DOES look like a lion though! LOL
