He was too hot. He's 17 and has a few matts at the end of him.

I was shaving the dog and he rubbed along the shaver

He's cooler now

Thanks

Yes, photos please!

People ask me if I've shaved my cat. I haven't though. His tummy is like a li'l fuzzy peach.

Thanks

I would love to shave my fluffy cat! I wouldn't have any unshredded skin left if I tried, but it's a great fantasy.

I'd hate to wear a fur coat in this weather.

Thanks

RubbishMantra, I like your cat, what breed is he?

Thanks

Thank you Gilbert, he is a Devon Rex.

Not just beautiful to look at, he is also a beautiful/quirky little being.

Thanks

As she got older the vet recommended shaving our Persian at the start of summer, it helped her coat. kept her cool and got rid of the matting too.

We used to do the lion cut - that's not ours but she used to look equally pissed off about it.
