I took my girls in for a lion shave yesterday (Portia, because she recently had a hairball so large it had to be removed endoscopically, and Puck, to help manage her allergies). And as much as I love them at maximum poof, I also adore them as scrawny plucked chickens! They are impossibly soft and so tiny! Plus, their fur changes colour - their core is mostly white at full growth, but initially comes back in their point colours.
Here’s Puck before, mid-regrowth, and after - truly 90% floof 😂
[Image ID: Three photos of a tortoiseshell Ragdoll cat. In the first, she sits on a windowsill on a spring day, with a full coat of long white hair. In the second, she sleeps in a cardboard box with a short coat of red and brown fur. In the third, she sit on a couch, freshly shaved and staring at the camera with a look of betrayal. /End ID]
Tagging @star-anise in case she needs a pick-me-up and/or a good laugh.
