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 know about that. We had a cocker that if she was shaved down she'd go pout. That dog loved the water and after a week on vacation with her swiming all day she'd smell like mildew. One time on the way home my husband and I made a comment that she smelled and the dog turned around in the seat, hid her face and wouldn't look at us the rest of the way home. After that we'd bathe her and rinse with vinegar at the end of vacation so she didn't smell. Sandy was very sensitive about those things.

Last Spring we shaved one of our girls down to get rid of her fine puppy fur. Daisy is a real prima-donna and I really thought she's be upset -- no such luck -- she loved it... that dog is a nudest at heart. She hates to wear a collar, harness, anything that restrains her freedom. Our newest puppy, on the other hand, LOVES to be combed and will bring you her brush so you can brush her fur.... and fall asleep while you do it.

Actually the uppity kitty attitude is only phased for a few minutes, then she thinks she looks FABULOUS and preens around so we can all pet her. EWW! EWW! EWW! It feels worse than it looks, especially on a 15 year old really fat cat.
