True story (not my family though!):
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 cat's 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. (see PHOTOS) She cried for a week...but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had.
Gas in car to go to groomers....$4.50
Cat car carrier...........................$32.99
Grooming fee............................$80.00
Getting "the look" from one seriously ticked off cat..Priceless!

That does look like one pissed off pussy cat.

LAUGH!
That's part of the reason I do my own grooming on my dog. There is no misunderstanding when I do it myself.

Actually, this summer I might have that done to my longhair- the heat is just too much for him. He looks like a small lion anyway.

I'd say that is the definition of a baleful look.

Folks with long haired cats that are too lazy to brush them. Okay, and folks with outdoor cats in hot climates.

Those feet look just like Mrs. Bat's bedroom slippers.

That is an excellent Lion cut. That cat looks really good, no clipper burns or tufts. Cats are pissed most of the time anyway by the time I see them. They don't like veterinarians usually.
This winter I am developing an unusual amount of static electricity and when I have been reaching for the little furrballs the static electricity sparks. They must think I am the antichrist.
