Talula the Leo

Finally, I can bring you my belated show and tell photo post.

As is the case around this time of year Talula stops caring about her hair (much like her Mother stops caring about toenail polish). Her hair gets so matted and unbrushable that she is miserable. Chunks of dander form and she just tends to sit in a cool, shaded spot in the den and sulk.

Last year the place I used was kind of awful. The people working there were heavy smokers and Talula was in a cage right next to some very loud dogs. Her cut wasn’t that great either as they didn’t even touch her tail.

Calling around to find a place that will shave your cat is an experience in and of itself. Luckily I found a place on the third try and was able to book her a grooming appointment for this morning.

According to the hip cat ladies at the cat grooming place “Talula is just the sweetest cat!”. Heh. I wouldn’t ever describe my cat as sweet, but maybe she was just thrilled to have the matted hair shaved off.

In any case I think she looks adorable. Here is a better photo of her lion tail

    oh! The boo. I wish I could find somewhere to shave Cougar, but all of the NYC places REFUSE to shave a cat older than 12. Le Sigh.

    Um, what’s with the post its? :)

    I have a post-it on every cabinet to list what is inside. GM likes to roll into the kitchen and get a glass of water some afternoons. This helps her remember where the glasses are.

    When I drive past your old place, I always find myself looking at your balcony, surprised to not see Miss Talula sitting on the edge, supervising the neighborhood. She is as lovely as her mum. :*

    She’s very striking in all of her two-toned, mane-y glory. Sleek & fluffy all at once!

    I keep trying to get Manly to let me have the BigCat shaved, but he won’t cave. I honestly think it would be more fun to wax him, but no one else thinks so :)
    Can you tell I’m more of a dog person?
