With springtime so close I decided to go ahead and shave my cats. I gave two of my persians a lion cut. And one a line cut. They look so cute and they actually seem to enjoy being so much lighter.

 

I started underneath and worked my way up the sides. With Rainbow I stopped halfway up her sides and than just thinned the hair on top. The other two I came all the way around . I left their manes ,tails and legs unshaved.

I did decide to trim the mane on one of the cats, because she would get it so wet every time she drank water. I did this by combing the hair upwards and than used the clippers to trim the ends. She stays much cleaner now. If you have a persian I would definately reccomend this around spring time. Now, I will be able to spend more time in the garden and less time cleaning up cat hair!
