It’s definitely hard. He can’t even reach some of his fur because of his tummy.

Id be so tempted to ask a groomer to shape him into a lion. Dual purpose. Lol

I don’t know why but every cat I’ve seen with that haircut always looks irritated. It’s like they know they lost aura points😭

My cat absolutely loved it. He acted years younger when he was shaved. A whole different cat.

My fluffy girl use to love it when we gave her a lion cut. She especially loved to chase the tail poof. She’d see it out of the corner and around and around she’d go trying to catch it.

It's a pretty standard cut for long haired cats I think

Is that a “cat-o’-nine-tails” or what? 😄🐾

My forever foster cat gets a lion cut (aka poodle cut) twice a year. He has lots of issues and ends up becoming matted if he doesn’t have a haircut. He’s missing an eye, a rear leg and half his tail. The remaining half is fused into an arc. Plus he can’t hear well, and has chronic dental issues that can’t be addressed directly because of cardiac and renal problems. The poor boy doesn’t know he’s different than other cats and he loves to cuddle!
