Hero cat saves baby from freezing to death

[Warpy]

46. I had a rescued Himalayan

who looked like an explosion in a mattress factory, hair all over the place and he looked enormous. The poor little guy would start to wilt in May, so I took him in to groomers for a buzz cut.

It was hilarious! There was no cat under all that fur, only about 7 pounds of him. He hated getting the cut, but he'd rocket around and bounce off the walls when he got home, he felt so great with all that heavy hair. He could also suddenly feel pets and scritches someplace besides his head and neck. The best part is that during the peak of shedding season, his fur was too short to mat up.

So don't discount hairy furballs. Often they're so little under the hair that they're quite manageable as lap candy.
