My cousin Lauren sent me this humor bit, which sent [livejournal.com profile] emmett_the_sane and I seriously laughing...

*************************************************************************************

Read the story first, then look at the pictures

My sister-in law is from Oklahoma and 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 my brother, 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.







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.

Gas in car to go to groomers $4.50
Cat car carrier $32.99
Grooming fee $80.00
Getting the look from one seriously pissed off cat... Priceless!

That is an excellent lion cut. (I have my Persian done this way in spring and fall, so by the time it gets as cold as it gets, it's grown in an inch or so.)

Never heard of a "line" cut, so I probably would have done the same as the groomer. (I've been known to ask "just take off the tummy and lower chest, and shorten the britches.")

One has to wonder what happened to the owner after she fell asleep...'cause anyone who doesn't think the cat will get even doesn't know cats! *grin*
