HE looks really Mad!!!!

Looks a little more like the Halloween hair cut than the summer one.

Poor Truman! He surely doesn't look happy. I hope you slept with one eye open last night!

Cats can hold grudges, so be careful.

I hope you got him off that piece of furniture before he did what it looks like he is poised to do.

He didn't look too happy to begin with!

NickNH · 07-24-2012, 09:28 AM

Love the tail poof!

This is one of those that looks photoshopped, but isn't. You are lucky he has neither weapons nor opposable thumbs.

SteveA · 07-24-2012, 03:20 PM

He actually seems to be enjoying it. That "look" on his face is the same as as it is in the other "Hairy" picture in the post. Just less hairy.

Truman is the single best natured cat we have ever had... nothing bothers him and he is an absolute love bucket. His fur is actually growing back already.

This is a random picture from a Google Image search for "shaved Persian"

Looks like the Tail "poof" is SOP.

He looks like a " Sour Puss" !

I have a big white fluffy cat who we have to shave almost every summer. He always seems mad at first, but he gets over it and goes back to loving on us in no time. Great pic Steve!
