Summertime Trim

A while back, you may remember that we had to get the cat shaved so he was no longer manky. I hoped at the time that this might mean he’d take more care of himself so as not to get laughed at again. Oh, how wrong I was. He’s even more of a mucky little sod now than he was before, and is in fact currently a strange shade that can only be described as “dusty grey”.

Anyway, due to the warm weather, we decided that Hound® was now due for a trim as well. Hound® isn’t quite as psychotic as Psycho Cat®, so we decided to undertake this task at home over the weekend. And in fact it all went pretty well – the fur was removed to a sensible level, and we don’t have any bald bits, which is a sign (so far as I’m concerned) of a successful job.

Hound® however hasn’t been quite so convinced. Her back end has lost all it’s tassles of fur, so she now looks like a collie crossed with a whippet. Which, if I’m honest, is bloody funny. She’s definitely a lot cooler than she was before, but I suspect she knows she looks a bit silly…
