Buzz the Cat

6/16/2005

We’re slowing baking in the heat. It got up to 94F inside the boat and the water temperature is 89F. Jezebel was so hot, that we decided to pull out the clippers and give her a buzz cut. We removed her fur in handfuls for almost 30 minutes. By the time we were done, our cat lost half her size and most of her hair. There’s nothing professional about this hair-cut, that’s for sure. It looks like she got in between two lawnmowers fighting over a psychotic weed eater. Well, I guess we can cut “professional pet grooming” of the list of possible future jobs.

At least she seems to like having a lot less fur, it’s 8:30 am and 83.3F this morning and she’s curled up instead of spread out on the floor. That’s an improvement, but once it gets up in the 90’s I don’t think there’s any way to still feel cool. It will be an interesting summer!
