Do you notice something maybe a little bit different about the Matisse? Tiny bit?
How about now?
I did it to him. On purpose. His fur was so clammy this summer that cutting out mats and brushing him down once a week wasn’t working very well… so I just went scorched earth and whipped out the electric razor.
AND HE LET ME DO IT TO HIM WITHOUT FIGHTING.
I’ll try not to make a habit of it though. daily brushings is the new rule chez rebecca.
For now? Maybe a little bit of giggling. Tiny bit.


He is but a shadow of his luxuriant self!
Poor Matisses. Does he go outside? If so, the other kitties are going to laugh at him. But he will be so handsome when his fur grows back, especially if you keep up the daily brushings (would that I could keep them up on my own cats).
Well, I think he looks happy. Or maybe just relieved. : )
Without fighting it? Wowza.
Poor baby! He looks….naked!!!
Maybe he knew he’d feel so much better! At least you didn’t shave him completely. They do lion-trims at our vet, and those kitties are hysterical…
(((hugs)))
Poor Matisse – at least you didn’t give him a grade 1!
He is one cool cat…
Yikes! That is one well-behaved Matisse! I’d get my eyes ripped out. But, it’s exactly what little Miss Mae needs, as she’s clumpy and *hates* to be brushed. So, yeah. I’m thinking she’d go for the razor. No problem.
i think he only let you do it so he could make one of these:
