eeek of the day

by admin on April 14, 2008

Not sex related: I come across at least one thing online a day that makes me go eeek. It’s usually a private, quiet little eeek. I can no longer live in silence. Today’s case in point: The Cats’ Inn grooming page featuring “panty” shaves and “Lion Cuts”.

Now, I don’t even blink at pics like that.
2 Nobilis April 15, 2008 at 1:54 pm: Anyone who has had to clean a long-haired cat’s ass would be glad to have that area shaved.

Such squeamishness!
3 Bacchus April 15, 2008 at 12:53 pm: “But — but — but — but…” he sputtered. “Cats don’t wear panties!”
4 quehanna April 15, 2008 at 5:10 am: I swear that gave my dog the giggles…lol.
5 JJ April 15, 2008 at 2:43 am: that is really wrong

i’m not one to protest about animal rights and what-not… but “panty-shaves”? thats way too far.
6 twizted April 14, 2008 at 9:27 pm: Poor, poor kitties! I sentence the people who submit them to this torment to bad haircuts for life.
7 Harlequin April 14, 2008 at 8:15 pm: *snickers*

I’d love to see them try to do any of the things on that page to *my* cat. There wouldn’t be anything left of the groomers.

Then again, you have to consider that my cat is part bobcat… *giggles*
8 Rebecca April 14, 2008 at 5:09 pm: How did you find that? And how is even legal?? Poor pussys need all the fur they grow.
9 Thomas April 14, 2008 at 4:29 pm: The panty shave image is something I did not need plastered across my nightmares. Thanks, Violet. Thanks a bunch.
10 Nobilis April 14, 2008 at 3:25 pm: This is an eeek?

You must live in a place without poodles…
