When Twitter user Ash shared a pic of a friend's cat, she probably didn't think it would go viral. However, the black kitty who got its front legs shaved for surgery was precisely what the Internet needed. Ash's tweet went viral and as of this article, it has over 470K likes.
The best part, however, is the replies. Other people whose cats are in a similar predicament started responding with their photos as well. From losing their pants to getting their out-of-shape bellies exposed, most of the shots are less than flattering, too. Something tells me the felines are already plotting a revenge plan to get back at the people spreading their photos.

Our little buddy had to have a few surgeries. His haircut was... Less than flattering.
My 16 year boy looking like he is the toughest cat on the block after his tooth removal surgery.
A couple of months post-surgery and Nugget is finally getting his fur back.
My kitty lounging on the floor after his surgery... Yea, he's still a little high on pain killers, but he's a champ.
Apollo made it through 3 weeks at the hospital and a surgery after somehow catching tonsillitis. The beast is finally back to his usual self.
"Cone breaks only last a few minutes as Bax is desperate to lick his wound! We have an inflatable collar arriving today so I hope this helps with eating and drinking! 2 more days before we see the vet"
Mine is exactly the same. Got her when she was 9. Hates being brushed.
As hilarious as some of these pictures are, it needs to be said that the only reason to shave a cats fur is medical! Please do not shave your cat without recommendation from your vet - not because you think she's too warm and especially not because you think a lion cut is cute! Cats regulate their body temperature through their fur, and losing part of it will make them feel very vulnerable and confused.
I think it depends on the cat too, my long haired cat loves to be shaved in the summer and gets excited when the buzzer sound turns on. He gets overheated with all the fur on hot days. After he is shaved you can see the mood change and hes able to run around more freely. My short hair cat however hates it, doesn't get over heated, so I don't trim his hair.

Yes. Declawing should be illegal worldwide. There is no reason (beneficial to the cat) to declaw a cat. Just carefully trim their nails if you're that worried about your precious furniture.
