Obie... the after shot

As my DD2 so aptly put it... '£130 for a really shite haircut!'
He is feeling a little sorry for himself but he feels fabulous!

And apparently he still fought back even when sedated!!!!

That cat is plotting your demise, but you probably already knew that!

I bet he feels much better though really Grin.

HemanOrSheRa · 31/07/2017 16:55

Aw. Bless him. He looks discombobulated Grin. Look at the size of his paws and the delicious toe floofs! He is amazing. I'd be his wife WinkGrin.

Wolfiefan · 31/07/2017 16:57

Oh that face. Sorry but you're about to be an ex Medusa. Are you insured!? Shock

Fluffycloudland77 · 31/07/2017 16:58

Oh dear. That poor cat will never learn will he?.

fleshmarketclose · 31/07/2017 16:59

Wow what a huge cat! Is he a particular breed? What did he look like with fur? Disclaimer no idea about cats your thread was on most active.

AllTheWittyNamesAreGone · 31/07/2017 17:00

He's fucking huge... huge naked and angry.

DramaAlpaca · 31/07/2017 17:01

What an enormous, handsome beast!

What have you done to the poor creature? Grin

HemanOrSheRa · 31/07/2017 17:05

I am fascinated by Maine Coons. It must be like having an actual real life LION in your home Shock.

Toddlerteaplease · 31/07/2017 17:09

He's so gorgeous. But is definitely plotting your demise. Will he be wearing a jumper to keep him warm. Does he have room for another wife?

TroysMammy · 31/07/2017 17:13

I love your lion OP Grin

HipsterHunter · 31/07/2017 17:21

Aw poor Obie! Hes looks even MORE annoyed than in the 'before' photo.

He'll be much more comfortable with the matts off poor love.

Bet there will be a thread on AIBU by one of his other wives "my horrible neighbors are starving their cat and i've been feeding it and now the terrible woman has SHAVED the cat as a punishment"

I love his toe fur, I want him! Actually, I want one like him but more friendly.

I was always mega keen on getting a maine coon but decided my house/garden just aren't big enough. If I ever leave london I'm getting one (two). Or a siberian.

Ski37 · 31/07/2017 18:15

Oh my goodness- he is gorgeous! The look on his face though....😂

Vinorosso74 · 31/07/2017 18:21

He is an amazing beast! Wouldn't fancy my chances trying to get him in a cat carrier or a tablet down his throat though.

Hipsterhunter..I have actually wondered if one day a thread would pop up about this 'poor abandoned (but somehow still fat) cat....
Luckily the neighbours are well aware that he IS owned and loved.

Getting him into his (dog) carrier was...fun. Take a moment to imagine those hoofing great back legs and feet braced against the carrier and you have the picture Grin

Poor boy has recovered enough to eat two packets of food and after a brief rest has gone off for tea and Dreamies at Thelma's!

Poor Obie, he looks like the sheepdog on that old Specsavers advert!

CatchingBabies · 31/07/2017 23:24

Poor Obie. Maybe the embarrassment of being naked will stop him from getting all matted in the future.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/08/2017 09:28

He doesn't look annoyed to me - he looks like he's about to burst into tears, poor love. I could accept a polygamous marriage in his case.

Want2beme · 01/08/2017 09:34

Look at that face. I fear he will be at Thelma's for the duration. Do you have any other giants?

@StillMedusa Please set up an Obie instagram account. I would follow him!

EachandEveryone · 02/08/2017 08:41

Wow he is amazing is he an only? Must eat you out of house and home

ocelot41 · 02/08/2017 15:42

Poor Obie! Send him over to meet our Georgia to learn the ways of happy grooming. The only MC I have ever met who comes running as soon as you lift a brush!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 02/08/2017 15:47

I keep clicking on the photo because I can't actually believe the size of his thigh...
