Not for Casey Not for most cats. How about George? Someone has too much time on their hands. mamacita
They LOVE it. Mine roll in the sand and play with their tails! They certainly aren’t being tortured. My 3 get lion cuts twice a year without any sedation. Leave the fun groomers alone!
Unless they need to shaved for a medical reason like surgery or extreme painful mats in parts of their fur, this almost borders on animal cruelty. They need to regulate their body temps (hot or cold) shaving also poses a risk to cut or nick their thin skin. Leave them alone. Plus, what are these narcissistic pet owners gaining at the pets expense. Sad
People who dye cats colors are either foolishly ignorant, or evil, and are perpetuating abuses of animal fighting rings.
This is pretty cruel and sad. Please stop. Cats are perfect as they are. Owners need to brush them on a regular basis, they’ll stay mat free! Feel that’s too much hassle…try a short haired cat. Use your brains, people!
Leave the cats alone!!!! They were not meant to be this way. It’s unhealthy🐈🐱
So sorry for the poor cats being shaved and cut like this. Only reason to shave a cat is in case of serious skin problem or injury or badly matted fur. Cats are cats and should look like the beautiful animals they are. Poor cats also have feelings and probably feel humiliated cut like this and being laughed, or stared at or so many pictures taken. Seems cruel to me.
Stupid in my books
Why would you put your cat through this? For show? It’s cruel and looks stupid!! Just my opinion.
I don’t think a pretty kitty needs to fi through the torture of then having to be humiliated afterwards. Cats get humiliated easily. They know they are pretty just the way they are. They aren’t stupid creatures. Do it to your own head of hair.
This is animal abuse.
Leave cats alone!! They are beautiful their natural coat!!
Why would any person who owns a cat torture them like this.This really aggravates me!CATS ARE NOT TOYS
Poor things.what a shameful thing to do.
This practice removes protections from cold temperatures which they hate, carcinogenic sun rays if the cats are outside, & scratches from objects & other cats. These cats look miserable.
Not a fan … and honestly these cats would have to be sedated to have this crap done to them !!
Disgusting. Cat fur does not respond well to constant shaving. Cats need their fur.
This is disgusting. Leave the poor animals alone! If you want to be “trendy”, get your own hair cut like this to make yourself look stupid and be cold in this awful weather. Cats look best the way nature intended them to look – with a full, beautiful coat.
Horrendous! What kind of a person does this. They need their coats to regulate their body temperature! Animal abuse, plain and simple!
I don’t need to say, enough already has been expressed.
Frankly I love it. A beautiful alternative to the matted first on the longer haired cats. I have a rescue that was so matted and they did a lion cut on her. She was so happy. Keep our pets happy.
I wonder how the cats feel about it. To bad they can’t talk. I guess when all the crazy ideas run out on people you have to try things on animals.
I honestly don’t know how to feel about this.
I feel this is ridiculous. This must have been done by some tide pods eating millinials.
you people are funny. The cats easily feel shame…LOL, what, have they told you this when you were mentally connected…Oh lord that is funny!!!
I love it, stay anonymous while you stand behind your heart felt beliefs. Makes me want to stand behind the next person who isnt so afraid to show face when they try to educate others.
I love this and it creative. Anyone to say anything negative is just another communist.
Once a dignified animal, now humiliated. Horrible! I almost cried.
All you people that are getting upset over a haircut on a cat are COMPLETELY off you rocker! Why do you put human emotion into this? Stupid pet people!!
This borders on abuse.
I LOVE THEM!!!!! We got used to poodles and their silly pom pons; bichon frise with their little round, fluffy, perfectly white faces; clipped ears and tails on other breeds; why not cats? I’ve had a long-haired dachshund and a domestic long-hair cat and shaved them both during summer months. They loved it and no more matted fur!
It is stupid and cruel. What’s wrong with the morons who do this??? 😡😡😡
Are these 13 year olds doing this? Cats have natural beautiful coats and need them to regulate their body temperature. And those who dye them colors, do you realize what that dye can do to their livers, etc? Get some dolls and play dress up, or even better do this to your own idiotic heads. Leave beautiful cats alone, freaks!
Waaaa, to everyone who pretended to be dismayed: YOU SCROLLED THRU EVERY PICTURE ! Why did you EVEN LOOK if it’s so UNIMAGINABLE!?! Good grief!
This is so unnecessary. Cats are beautiful as they are, no need to go to these lengths. It’s seems it’s more about the owners than the cats!
This is hideous!
Why are people so “f*****g” stupid and thoughtless. Their beauty should be left in tack along with their individual coloured coats to keep them warm.
Awful. People who do this don’t understand or respect cats, but are treating them like decorative toys. Cats’ natural coats are both beautiful and important in regulating their body temperature. Owners should cut their own hair like this and leave the cats alone.
Just plain stupid.
Sooo not nice!!
Absolutely disturbing. They are CATS!! If you want a dinosaur, buy a stuffed one!😡😡😡😡
I don’t care either way, as long as they’re not being harmed in any way
Noooo WAY!!!
YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING. THE CATS LOOK AWFUL
My son and I think it is hilarious!
That is the most di s respectable thing anyone can do to a cat or even a dog. Get a life and get a stuffed animal. Cats are susceptible to cold and then you cut the hair off. I don’t understand and I hope something will be done about this. Please groomers refuse to do theirs cuts. Help save these cats who have no way to protect themselves. Shame on all of you that have or are going to do that to your cat.
Personally, I don’t think cats need more grooming than just a good brushing. How often depends on what type of fur they have. This dying and sculpting their fur is all about the owners ego. The cat probably hates it because you screwed up their fur. I think they would probably want to be left alone and not turned into a piece of topiary. Just leave them in their natural state cuz it probably feels pretty weird to be like that.
just
No no no no no no no! Dogs & cats aren’t blank canvases to paint or blocks of material to sculpt—they’re living, sentient beings. Cats should only be shaved for medical reasons. It’s different when you do stuff like tattoos & extreme hair on yourself—it’s your choice. Also, some of them creep me out, it looks like they’ve been carved into! (That 3rd one—the brown tabby & white. 😬)
Long hair cats absolutely needs to be shaved because owner dont know how to maintain their animal. I have been a groomer since 33 years and i saw so many cats that needed it so much. Usually Its for their confort not for the look .So stop being so offended Its for their own well being.
I think this is ridiculous. Why don’t you m people take the money your spending on this & donate it to an animal shelter!
These Kitties do not look happy!
