Ok, my cousin has a few cats and I am begging her to let me shave one's head. Not a lot, just a bald spot so I can call the cat friar tuck.
My cousin is firmly against the idea but I convinced her to let me put it to a vote on this site (it helped taht I said the site was full of cat lovers).
So help me out in the poll, vote to let me shave the cat's head!
BTW, the cat's young, she'll get over it.
Poodle clip would be better for summer, though.
why do you want to shave the pus-, er, cat?
Because it will be funny!
People, vote yes! If I get to shave the cat I'll post pictures!
While I don't think the cat will be terribly terrorized and you will get the clawed end of the stick (...what?), I think that you must be twisted to want to shave the kitty.
That's a given lil K, but just vote yes. Vote for the sheer hillarity!
mmmmm, maybe yes. Let me think on it.
I voted yes, but craven must also post photos of his battle wounds!
I voted no, but on second thought, voting "yes" means voting "put Craven in a situation in which he will be clawed to shreds."
What to do, what to do...
well, you can't change your vote now... or can you?
I vote yes, IF the tonsuring takes place in a tub of icy water and both Craven and the cat are wearing only natural hair.
May the more rugged individualist win.
Have you read the book "Shaving The Cat" by Claude Balls?
May I suggest it? Great reading.
I voted yes btw. :wink:
Just this morning the cat bit me (for making it sit with me on teh couch).
This cat claws me ALL the time. It was akitten when I arrived stateside and it's favorite pasttimes are making em chase her and climing the cat tree and trying to bat at my head.
Beleive me, I get my share of punishment from this cat. I don't wanna punish her, just make her look funny (while she wonders why her head feels the breeze).
silly boy, you can't expect to MAKE a cat do something without it retaliating!
I think you have to take into consideration the cat's point of view.
Among cats, a shaved head means "enemy collaborator", i.e., DOGS. It wouldn't be so bad if the cat lived alone and could hide under the couch until its hair grew back. But to have to live amongst and cavort with other cats would be humiliating. "Oh, look, there's FLUFFY! I hear she's dating a SCHNAUZER! I think it must have been Fluffy who told the HUMAN what happened to the goldfish. TRAITOR! TRAITOR!"
It wouldn't be a pretty situation.
Stumble It!
