Talk about a bad hair day!We took our cat, Gizmo, to be groomed today.
In Chicago, a Persian cat is given a long shaggy cut. He is trimmed and bathed and dried. A fur coat is considered to be an important and even prized thing in the Midwest.
In San Diego, there is a large military presence. It's warm. Hair is kind of a nuisance. Maybe we shoulda seen it coming. Nonetheless, we were shocked and quite mad when we picked up poor Gizzy. He looks like he is ready for Basic Training. Actually he doesn't look like a cat anymore, he looks like one of those monkeys called marmosets. I feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for the person at Petco who picks up my phonecall....
A marmoset.

Sorry, Shelley, but that's what you get for taking your long-haired cat to a Petco for grooming!!!! (The same thing happened to Munchkin in Cincinnati, but at a reputable groomer.)
Yeah. I shoulda thunk.
Good Heavens! Gizmo looks...well, nevermind.It's hair...it will grow. Don't let him look in a mirror.
He stares at himself in the mirror now. I think he believes another animal is in there.
