My Little Lion Man

Argo got shaved. His fur mats were so bad, and I could tell he was very miserable, so we decided we needed to get him groomed. I had been researching places that groom cats. Argo is such a love and I so didn't want him traumatized. A few places I read reviews on, left me scared.

Lorie and Jo were going to try to get an appointment with one of their friends, but they couldn't reach her. Stef had suggested that we try Aunt Ernie's. That is where they take Lily and have been very satisfied with their work. I called and got an appointment for Saturday. They quoted me between $65.00 to $80.00 depending upon the badness of the fur and the temper of the cat.  I told her that he was a love, and was declawed in front, but that his mats are bad. She said about $75.00.

Saturday came and we stuffed our big boy into our largest carrier. He meowed all the way, which I thought was odd. We dropped him off and went to lunch. A few hours later they called to pick him up, and he was a very hairless kitty.

They told us that it was only $53.00 as they didn't bathe him. They said he was so good getting shaved, that they didn't want to punish him by putting him in water. I guess he just freaked out when they got to the tub.

We asked them to shave them like a lion. He was great. You could tell where they were at in the process when he got tired of it, as his legs aren't even.  He's also got a few tufts here and there.

His tail is so cute, but I will admit that I will not do this again. He just doesn't look like my fuzzy butt. But for Summer I think he will be happy.  The other cats have actually cut him some slack and been nice. Even Tiger has been pretty laid back.   So now we have a Lion, a Tiger and our Bear. OH MY!
