    Awww, Sherpa! I am with momcat - I like your tabby striped legs, too! In the first picture, maybe you are telling me what you think of Petromalt (Cassie feels the same way)
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    To Sherpa's mom: Did you trim him yourself, or did you take him to a groomer?

    He looks SO good with his trim!

    Death thought about it.

    I groomed him myself, though I had my sister in law (a registered vet tech who worked at a cat-only hospital for 10 years) come help me get around his "boy parts" and in his armpits. He was really good for it....even though it was his first haircut, I just set one hand on his shoulders and went to town. I'm shocked that it came out so evenly, I have never done a kitty haircut before. I did nick one of his nipples. I felt so bad, but he didn't seem to notice.

    That is too cute His coat looks so soft.
    you did a great job!
    I have the same cat I wonder if her fur would look the same shaved?

    Well, Sherpa's was such a success that I decided to try Charlie too. I don't like the look at all, and she did not appreciate the process. She's much more uneven because she was very upset by the ordeal so we stopped after just a few minutes...luckily Charlie doesn't get hairballs and eats her petromalt so this will be a one-time thing for her.

    Did you use a shaver, or special clippers, or scissors, or what?

    Thanks! One (at least) of mine needs a good all-over trim. LOTS of little mats under her fur.

    I bought some clippers at the pet store I work in. They work pretty well!

    Thank you. I'll have to check out the pet stores around here. Is yours a particular brand or mopdel?

    Good job on the grooming! They both look very lovely, although Charlie doesn't look too thrilled with the new haircut.

    RIP Sally

    LoL, Charlie's never thrilled about ANYTHING. She's such a snob!
