Andy and Dougy have their next grooming appointment Wednesday, November 14th. I recently talked with Athena, their groomer, and we decided to try a different look. Namely, “Persian cat”! You know, long hair, with hygienic trim on their cute little butts, underarm trims to deal with mat formation in those difficult places, a bath, hair conditioner, a blow dry, and a comb-out.
They are such pretty cats when their hair grows out, it seems a shame to trim them down, even though the teddy bear cut I have been getting for them is pretty cute. It should be healthier for them this winter to have hair, too. Come summer, I’ll talk with Athena again to plan for what’s best for the kitty boys.
In the photos above, Dougy in artificial light, above right, looks more like Andy (below does in the bottom right photo taken in natural light.
They would like to remind you: They make the cut cute, not the other way around 🙂
Ha! So true!
That sounds like a good plan for the winter.
I certainly can understand changing for the winter. They could be a little warmer with this cut. The Teddy Bear look is divine and perhaps for summer.

Yes, I think so, too, though I do turn on the air conditioning for them. (I can do without it.)
Their long hair really is beautiful. I am moving to what I call the “winter cut” for many of my clients: letting the hair grow, but taking care of face, feet, and hygenic parts. Some owners will not be able to stand it all winter, and I will switch to a scissor cut as opposed to shaving. It’s good your groomer is also flexible.
Yes, and she always translates my vague instructions into something that looks good on the kitty boys!
p.s. I also appreciate your professional comments on this as your clients also turn out looking really good!
Thanks, Doug.
If both let them brush you, nothing is to be said against long hair (but I have to admit I have come to like the teddy bear cut on your boys).
Yeah, it is low maintenance for both the kitties and me, too!
