48. I had a Maine Coon

Jan 2015

He *WAS* a big boy, 18lbs. They did a "lion cut" on him when I took him to the groomer. That had to be the most humiliating thing I have ever seen done to an animal. I didn't ask them for that, they just did it.

Here is this cat with a bunch of hair on his face and neck, shaved back and tail except for a bob at the end and fluff at his paws.

He looked like a damn poodle.

I was embarrassed for him.
