My sister-in law is from Oklahoma and has a slight accent. She has cats and when she lived in the south she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a “Line Cut”. To her, a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat’s tummy is taken off (because it gets matted or snarled). When she moved to Chicago with my brother, one of the cats fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a Line Cut. She was quite surprised when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a Line Cut was and he said, “Yes, I know what a LION cut is.” (It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her ) ![]() ![]() She cried for a week... but not as much as the cat! It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had. Gas in car to go to groomers: $4.50 Cat car carrier: $32.99 Grooming fee: $80.00 Getting the look from one seriously ticked off cat: Priceless! Post-Note: Is a “lion cut” for real? “The “lion cut” is indeed a standard grooming technique in which a cat’s hair is shaved skin-close all over the body but left intact around the head, feet, and the end of the tail; the style so named because it mimics the large mane and foot-and-tail tufts of a male lion.” Snopes.com Even the worst haircut eventually grows out. - Lisa Kogan A hair on the head is worth two on the brush. - Oliver Herford Life and joy and beauty are better than dusty death. - Bertrand Russell By means of beauty all beautiful things become beautiful. - Socrates If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style. - Quentin Crisp He doesn't dye his hair, he's just prematurely orange. - Gerald Ford If the cat sits long enough at the hole, it will catch the mouse. - Irish proverb If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. - Chinese Proverb Praise adds nothing to beauty - makes it neither better nor worse. - Marcus Aurelius Beauty will result from the form and the correspondence of the whole. - Andrea Palladio I have little hair because my brain is so big it pushes the hair out. - Silvio Berlusconi I spent seven hours in a beauty shop... and that was for the estimate. - Phyllis Diller I used to think I'd like less grey hair.
