adventures in haircutting
Saturday April 14th 2007, 4:13 pm

No, not mine… my cat’s. I cut my cat’s hair. Again. Sorry mom!

Sophie Jack, more affectionately known as “Baby,” has very long hair. The hair under her chin gets stuck in her mouth all the time, the hair by her butt sometimes acts as a spiderweb (catching you-know-what), and she has started getting some deep matted clumps of hair on her back. So I did what any good mother would do, I gave her a haircut. Her shiny black coat never fully recovered from the last haircut I gave her a year or two ago. Underneath the shiny black was a dull gray, and though the hair on her back has finally turned black again, many other areas remain gray. So I don’t feel so bad about doing it again. At least I didn’t do this to her.

She doesn’t look nearly as ridiculous as she did the last time I gave her a haircut. But just like last time, she does appear to have lost 10 pounds. The cat’s hair makes her look like a fatty fatty two-by catty. But she’s not. She’s quite athletic in fact. She even does backflips. Photographic proof of this will come at a later date.

Watch what you say. Due to excessive spambots, the following words within a comment automatically send it to the trash without my ever knowing: any word associated with the primary male and female reproductive parts, any word you might find on a porn site (including the relatively innocent and multi-functional "breasts"), any prescription drug name (yes, even prozac and amoxicillan are off limits), any form of the F word, and "mp3" is out too. Sorry. If for any reason you need to use words like these within the comment, I suggest you get creative and find another way of saying it. Also, because filters don't care how innocent your comment may be, words like title, analyst, cocker spaniel, Emily Dickinson, etc. are off limits. Can you guess why?
