Shave my what?

Last weekend, Kayla (aka "Painted") asked if she could remove the mats from our cat, Bondi.

Bondi is a special case. He's pure white with blue eyes and completely deaf. He's also about the most un-hygenic cat I've ever seen. Dirt in his fur, mats, and more likely than not, a big turd stuck to his butt.

But we love him.

So... Kayla and my son took him into the bathroom with the electric clippers (he can't hear the clippers so they didn't freak him out too bad). What followed was pure comedy genious:

Looks normal enough from this angle... but wait...

OMG!! Removing a couple of mats does NOT mean shave his whole back!

Bondi is less than happy with his new "do".

And that's the last time I let the kids take care of the cat.

Sure... they got the mats out... but bejesus... the cat's gonna have a complex for sure! :-)

Just think...what if they had to shave his bum?

Vets need to nap him before that, I think.

Washing his butt was bad enough. I don't think he hates it...more people are willing to touch him...the fur will grow back...and as long as you keep a good constant brushing...the cat shouldn't get too many mats.
