Ashley, You are beautiful!! I read your story and felt sorry for you because you probably had been a breeder cat and then discarded. Your life has changed for the better. I can tell from the writeup that your humans love you very much and you love them also. Congrats on being COTD!

BTW My Luke sports a lion cut about twice a year. I've never noticed any itching or anything uncomfy about it. On the contrary I think he prefers his short hair especially in the warm hot months. Kay in NC
