The standard cut the kitty boys’ groomer gives them is the teddy bear cut. Looking at Dougy this morning, I thought, “Yeah! Now he looks like one!” Ha!
The kitty boys have a bit over a month to go before they get their next day at the spa. So far, they haven’t developed mats. I hope that continues.
He does look a bit like a teddy bear, but mostly he looks like an adorable kitty!
Agreed!
doodz….a trip ta de vetz IZ de pitz… but ya hafta add mit…. itz gotta feel grate bee in kewl…ewe can tell uz …we will never tell dad ya R thinkin …YAY ~~ 😉 ♥♥
Their groomer is at a separate business. Their veterinarian clinic does limited grooming.
That’s great they have zero mats as yet Doug! You take such expert care of your fur babies!
I think the cut of their hair makes a difference, too.
Oh no, not the Lion-cut!! Please don’t do that to my Dougie!!
No, the lion cut is too extreme and ugly! The teddy bear cut is longer and mostly is just shorter and shaped in a way that accentuates the cuteness of the kitty boys!
Thank you. Your one reader’s comment scared me!
I think the dignity (and beauty!) of the kitty boys is more important than to get them a lion cut, too. I trusted their groomer when she suggested the teddy bear cut, and it proved to be a good choice.
You’re a good Dad!!
I would love to see them with the lion cut! Especially that funny tip on the end of the tail. Pleeeease make it happen! 🦁 🦁
Never! They had a modified lion cut the first time I got their hair cut, but the groomer left their tails untrimmed.
Trim! 👏 Those! 👏 Tails! 👏
NO! NO! NO! I will never happen! Their groomer would refuse on ethical grounds. Kitty boys have their dignity. Besides, they’ve seen those photos of seriously upset cats with lion cuts, and they assure me they know where I sleep.
Oh dear, does it upset them? I didn’t think they minded as it kept them cool? 😢
Cats definitely let you know by body and facial cues what they feel about things, and a lion cut is one of those things that involves a very sensitive area – the tail – when it comes to doinh anything to it.
Ahhh, I see. I didn’t realise they didn’t like it. 😢
It depends on the cat, actually. Most are pretty “tail proud”, though. Both Andy and Dougy are “tail proud”. When they took hisd blood pressure on hisd tail, he was very upset! I have to remind the technicians to use his hind foot or they will cause his blood pressure to shoot up to dangerous levels.
the cutest teddy bear ever ;O)
I have to agree! Thanks!
