Because they are easier to find when you want to go back and take another look.

9. The story:

This woman from Oklahoma has a slight accent. She has cats and when she lived in the south she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a Line Cut. To her a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat's tummy is taken off (because it gets matted or snarled). When she moved to Chicago with a friend, one of the cats fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a line cut.

She was quite surprised when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a line cut was and he said "yes, I know what a LION cut is."

It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her. (see below) She cried for a week...but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had. Her friend, not a cat lover by any means, just laughed.

15. Not quite an urban legend, snopes link here for lion Cut

It is called a "lion cut", is standard grooming for snarly longhaired cats. It does look doofusy.

21. Amazing how deceptively large their bodies appear with full coats.

I've noticed that on the few unfortunate occassions I've had to bathe my kitties.

13. That is one unhappy looking cat, poor thing.

[hyphenate]

14. Actually

I don't think it's unhappiness. I think it's purely pissed off!!

Do you see his/her little sagging nipples? :rofl:
