Just stamp "SUCKER" on my forehead! UPDATE Post #24

[rg_girlca]

Yes Karen, I have a feeling that this cat is going to give this guy a bit of a hard time. I hope he is up to the challenge.

Freedom: I'm sure this poor cat will have to shaved right down. His mats are so bad and some of them are so big also. I can't even imagine what this poor cat has been through to be in such a condition.

Medusa: I'm sure this cat has been groomed before because my hubby took our electric razor that we use on our dog and just groomed a bit on the top part and he didn't even budge. But there were no mats where he did it.

Cassiemom: After explaining to the groomer the condition the cat was in, he quoted me a price of $49.00. It could get to be a little more, but I've got it covered. Thank you for the thought though. Mats are painful when they become so tight that they pull the skin.

RICHARD: LOL!!!!!!! GOOD ONE!!!

I'll be very anxious to hear how it went tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Lorraine, Thanks for being able to take him/her in. I'm sure that this cat will feel so much better once it's been shaved down. I know where I live there are very few groomers that will even groom cats because they're so difficult. Good luck and please continue to keep us updated about him/her.

Personally, I think the word "SUCKER" is somehow hidden under our skins on our foreheads, and only the really pathetic animals know how to truly unlock that part in us that makes it glare out in NEON COLORS!

Lorraine, you are a GodSend. Poor kitty! He looks persian to me (one of my FAVORITES)!

I agree Karen, bet those "points" will dissappear after a good bath and trim down.

Cassiesmom-
Mats hurt because the hairs tangle, and then get so tight that it pulls the skin constantly. I have seen cats with mats so bad that they lose skin, and get sores. Also bruising. I cant imagine how painful that must be

Thank God for his saviour! I would also donate if needed!

I love his face, even though he looks grumpy.

Does the groomer have any sort of 'calming' stuff that is safe that he might use on this kitty?

Although - kitty might be okay with a razor as it hopefully won't pull...maybe the groomer can put some softener on the mats?

ANYWAY - I bet kitty will feel MUCH better afterwards, and you may have a major sucky boy on your hands.

I hope the groomer doesn't suffer any wounds. Are you going to be there with him?

BTW - whatever happened to that neighbour eejit that you poofed Sweet Pea from? There was a male kitty too, right?

Taz Zoee, we just call the cat, Minou.

I hope the groomer doesn't suffer any wounds. Are you going to be there with him?

Candace, nope, no wounds for the groomer.

Yes, there was a beautiful, sweet male named Bob, who went missing one very cold January day.
My girlfriend just loves him.

[Medusa]

I'm sure he's feeling much better now and getting scritchies just added to his pleasure. Ya dun good!

THERES A GOLD STAR BY YOUR NAME FOR RESCUING MINOU LORRAINE, AND IT MAY TAKE A WHILE FROM MINOU TO CALM DIOWN, BUT HE WILL SOON REALIZE THAT HES IN A HOUSE WHERE HE WILL BE LOVED AND RESPECTED.
HE NOW HAS HIS FURREVER HOME AND GOTCHA DAY.
CONCATULATIONS MINOU THE MARVELLOUS

[phesina]

Such a touching, heartwarming, wonderful story!

Thank you, Lorraine, and God bless.

[Emeraldgreen]

What a handsome fellow! Thank you for bringing him home where he'll be safe and warm. Please post pics after his haircut!

[orangemm]

Bless you for taking in this kitty; you know he/she has to be miserable. A good shaving will set things right. Let us know how it goes. I can't imagine how that feels?

[jenluckenbach]

Thanks for saving this guy. He'll feel tons better after the grooming. Just warn the groomer to have a cat muzzle handy

[Laura's Babies]

Poor baby! He looks miserable but my bet is he knows he is in good hands now and will be taken care of, even if he won't like being shaved/groomed. He is going to be a really handsome baby once he is taken care of and gets a little love..

There was no way anyone could have just ignored this baby and let him continue on like he was, if you have any heart at all, you would have to do something, THANKS for stepping up to the plate and taking him on. I can't wait to see him in a few months! (Maybe hubby will want to keep him?)

He looks so much like my RB Chynna, are his eyes blue?

[lvpets2002]

Aweee this baby is just too Adorable.. So glad your taking this baby in as a furrever home..

WELL IF THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD SUCKER IS THAT WE HAVE COMPASSION FOR OUR FELLOW CREATURES OF OUR ALL MIGHTY LORD GOD ABOVE, AND HAVE FEELINGS FOR A POOR LOST SOUL :WHO ONCE UPON A TIME MUST HAVE BEEN THE APPLE OF SOMEONES EYES, THEN THERE ARE MORE SUCKERS ON THIS SITE THAN IN A CANDY STORE.
I AM PROUD LORRAINE TO BE A FELLOW SUCKER WITH YOU, AND I LEARNED THAT COMPASSION FROM MY DEAR MOTHER WHO WOULD GO OUT IN THE COLD IN THE LITTLE SPACE UNDER OUR PORCH WITH FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY ONES.
ITS A SHAME THAT IN THIS MERCENARY WORLD CARING IS CONSIDERED FOOLISH, I THINK THAT THE PEOPLE WHO THINK ONLY OF MONEY ARE THE TRUE SUCKERS.
LOVE IS ETERNAL AND WILL LAST FAR MORE THAN MONEY OR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR HELPING THAT BIG PERSIAN, YOU HAVE MADE A FRIEND FOR LIME, AND WE ARE PROUD TO BE VOTRE AMIS.
