Logan, I'm glad Butter is doing okay. Since you mentioned shaving, I have to tell you this. In 1992 we adopted a cat from the shelter. He was about 8-10 years old and was so beautiful I couldn't resist. Our vet said he was part Persian because of his distintive tail. We named him Michelangleo (my daughter was a big Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fan). Mike didn't like to be touched. When he wanted, he would jump into our laps, but he didn't like to be petted. One day I smelled poop. I checked the soles of my shoes and didn't see anything so I searched the house. No poop. About two days later Mike jumped on my lap and I almost gagged. I lifted his tail and saw poop matted into his fur. I tried to wash it. I couldn't because he wouldn't allow it so I took him to our vet. They couldn't remove it by washing so they shaved his bottom. Poor thing had to walk around with a little pink bottom. He hated it! I couldn't help but laugh. Of course Mike paid me back by peeing on my shoes. His hair eventually grew back and he was once more his stunning former self. Butter will grow his hair back. He's a lucky fellow to have found your home. I just wish him good luck with all those girls
