My friend, Grace, has an adorable fluffy cat named Mittens. She's 11 year old. They found her after she was thrown out of car, alongside a road, when she was a tiny kitten.
Mittens is a VERY fluffy cat... fluffy doesn't even describe. She's 100% indoor and was blowing her coat like a mutha! She also had a couple of knots. So Grace decided to coerce me into giving Mittens a lion-cut, for months. I told her to go to a professional, but there is no one in the area that is willing to shave cats. Mittens is fearful of strangers and strange places, too, and she happens to love me. So I gave in and did it!
We could only do it for about 30-45 minutes, with breaks in between, because Mittens was not a happy kitteh! And, I know it looks bad... but it was my first experience clipping any animal, and I'm just glad I didn't cut off a nipple. ;0)

Mittens iz dis-pleased.
