When Southerners aren't Understood.

Ebaum,

"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.

When I first moved down to SC (Charleston), I had a terrible time understanding people.
I still do at times lol

WCHS?
I've been away too long, don't remember what school you're referring to?
It's changed so much since I lived there. I moved right after graduation. My sister was class of '78, and still lives in MD.

I can't do anything but sit because I can't get my pants zipped up.

I got 2 magazines in the mail today, Practical Horseman and Equus, so I'm hitting the sack and looking at the pictures since I'm too tired to read.

Arguing on that other thread is pointless. There is no easy answer to the mustang problem.

My neighbor has her cat clipped like this on purpose several times a year -- saves on hairballs. He does look like a black lion after each clip.

Churchill.
Did you know Jeff Kemp before he jumped ship?
I moved back to my old neighborhood a few years ago. I feel like this is new place because it keeps changing all the time. Traffic of course is terrible, but at least we have a Republican as Gov!

We long ago started grooming our cockers'. We have about six sets of clippers in order to do the job right.

You know it's funny but dogs don't seem to care how funny you make them look, but cats seem to know when they're being humiliated.

I've been through two sets of cheap Oster clippers. What do you use?

My mother does the same thing to her 15 year old, 20 lb pile of mush she calls a cat.

It's disgusting.

And hysterical.

And it does eliminate the hairball problem...along with that uppity kitty cat attitude

Why is it that if you did this to a dog they still want to slobber all over you like nothing happened, but do it to a cat!

I don't really know anyone, I only went to WWHS for my senior year (and only had morning classes at that). I spent 7th thru 11th at a private school in DC for ballet dancers, and performed with our company, the Washington Ballet, and then my senior year with the Maryland Youth Ballet. So I was on another planet lol

We have Oster, Wahl's, Andis and Conairpet. Conair makes a very small shaver that runs on a double A battery. It's quiet and small, is good for the faces, ears and between the toes. Check Petedge.com/clippers ... oh, and we use a "flowbee" on their feathers and topknot.

Oh...I LOVE THAT! Just the delivery of that line is hysterical! Kitchen Kitty looks like a really PO'd Puss-----In Boots. I bet she'd love to take a rapier to whoever shaved her.
