Owner Surprised After Taking Her Cat To A Groomer

ADVERTISEMENT

Meet Jin Jin, the Persian kitty who recently became the victim of one of the most epic hairdresser mishaps ever. As is quite typical with long-haired cats, Jin Jin’s owner Xie Qian Qian makes sure the cat gets shaved every once in a while. This is supposed to keep the cat cool and bring less hair to the house. Jin Jin would always return from the hairdresser with an adorable lion-style cut, with the fur on his head and tail being mostly untouched. Not this time, though…

A few months ago, when Jin Jin was supposed to have an appointment with a hairdresser, his owner was too busy to take the kitty there and asked her friend to drop him off. When she arrived to pick him up, the woman was completely taken aback – Jin Jin’s hair was cut in a way that made him look like he was wearing a silly cat mask.

“I was surprised the groomer would shave him like that,” Qian told The Dodo. Still, after the initial shock, Qian and her husband couldn’t help but laugh at the kitty’s new look.

Today Jin Jin’s hair is back to its glorious fluffiness. However, the kitty himself didn’t seem to mind the new haircut much. Maybe he’s finally getting in touch with his inner hipster.

    However, this time she didn’t have time to take him to the groomer herself and asked her friend to do it

    When she came to collect him, the old Jin Jin was gone

    Cheer up, kitty – a bad hairdresser experience can happen to anyone!

    This has also started a hilarious Photoshop battle

    Persian cats originate from a hot country, Nature must have intended for them to have long hair or they would have evolved differently. Shaving a cat is totally unnecessary give him/her a good grooming and get rid of all the loose hair. The owners that do this are weird themselves. Husky or Malamute do the job of getting rid of hair themselves, they don't need shaving. Sarah, you're not a cat person so how would you know?

    Except they dont... first persian cat was imported to Europe from Khorasan province.. Average annual temp is 10 degrees Celsius.. I wouldnt call that a hot country.. You watched Aladin too much. One doesnt need to be a cat person to use elementary logic which you obviously lack.

    I know some cats and dogs do need to be shaved in order to control temperature, but this is the dumbest thing to do to a cat. Hope the groomer is no longer grooming because they sucked at it!

    Cats do not need to be. Shaved unless it is for a medical reason any groomer with a brain in their head knows this

    It shows that you need to take your pet not a friend. If they are that important make the time.
