Why does this cat look mad? (1 Viewer)

Poor kitty. One reason not to leave your pet unattended at a party.

Was this a future hairstylists' party? It is a bit goofy, but they did a good job, either way.

Am I the only one that started humming "These boots were made for walking" after seeing the first photo?

I'd like to see that at the beginning of a movie

I knew a guy who had to do something similar to his mixed persian cat. The cat got overheated in the summers and the vet recommended he shave him. I think he left the paws similar to the pic for protection against abrasions, etc.

That is terrible and really cruel if it was doen for no reason at all. It is like making a person walk about naked with no protection from the elements at all.
If that was done for no reason other than some cruel person's idea of amusement then it has made me

He just found out that the DVD of "The Aristocats" was pan and scan.

(Or perhaps it's that poodle cut he has).

How do you hold down a cat for shaving? I imagine a lot of blood would have been spilt!
Now, as for the cruelty...I don't see anybody complaining about spaying or neutering animals, but they make a lot of ruckus when it comes to declawing, shaving, table scraps, etc.
This sure beats getting your testicles snipped...

We had to shave our long haired cat last year because her fur began to mat and clump. There was no way to comb the hair out, so the only option was shaving. She took a dump on the lady who was shaving her fur. It only took a few minutes and our cat relaxed after she knew she was not going anywhere.

She looked like a lion for a few months. It was quite funny. The tail had a nice big poof at the end. I think after a while she really liked it.

How long does it take for the cat to grow its hair back?

Perhaps so. What I was trying to say is that fur is a cat's natural defence against the elements. In other words, the cat may become ill without all their fur to protect them.

As for declawing, this too is part of a cat's natural defences (against cats and other animals) and declawing is therefore also quite cruel.

Not too sure where I stand on cats getting their testicals snipped but I do know that if cats are spayed/neutered there will be less unwanted and badly looked after cats in the world. Spaying and neutering is a direct result of our domestication of cats and dogs and unless we wanted a population explosion, it is something that unfortunately is quite necessary. It does not take away from a cat or dog's natural defenses.

It wasn't my intention to be all uppity about this thread but cruelty to animals (and people) makes me mad.

It takes about a good 4 months for it to fully come back in.

Ugh... you probably shouldn't have said that.

Peace Out~

Some cats hold grudges. Looks like this one might be saving up an ambush on its owner for later

yeah, that really looks like an outfoor cat too.

 

[Rob Speicher]

...it's photoshopped isn't it? Looks really obvious to me, cat's body and head are way out of proportion.

Hey, I was going by the Scottish weather. Our cats need all the fur they can get whether they are indoor or outdoor.

 

[Philip_G]

heh, it's -5F here tonight. I think most any cat would die if left outside. Dogs too probably.
