CATastrophe - How to Lionize Your Cat
Hair today... gone tomorrow!
|
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 Teeth are always in style. - Dr. Seuss A thing of beauty is a joy forever. - John Keats In youth and beauty wisdom is rare. - Homer Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies. - John Donne When spiders unite, they can tie down a lion. - Ethiopian Proverb A hair in the head is worth two in the brush. - Oliver Herford There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness. - Lady Marguerite Blessington He doesn't dye his hair, he bleaches his face. - Johnny Carson March came in like a lion and went out like a ham. - Frank Nugent Going to law is losing a cow for the sake of a cat. - Mark Twain Dogs can't operate an MRI machine but cats can. - Unknown Style is a natural extension of who you are as a person. - Mark Richards By means of beauty all beautiful things become beautiful. - Socrates If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style. - Quentin Crisp Women's clothes: never wear anything that panics the cat. - P.J.
