Good morning, cat pawrents. Have you ever gotten a haircut and not really been sure if it looks good or not? We have. But we can always take solace in knowing that if we wait a few weeks, it will grow back. Our cats, however, do not have such a luxury. One purrticular fluffy orange feline got a summer haircut and now he looks…well…less than pleased. It's called a "lion cut", but we're not sure he feels like much of a lion.

His owners defend their choices, saying he's found a new sense of life and freedom with this new hairdo. He has a meowdical issue that they say will be easier to clean up without so much hair - so we're likely to trust them. Who knows, maybe this zesty ginger cat with one brain cell is enjoying feeling the wind on his bare bottom. Scroll down to see all the pictures to judge for yourself if he's living a new feline dream or stuck in a hairball nightmare!

    Oh dear, we were not prepurred for the hilarity of this picture. The pose, the power, the presence, the cream-filled goodness! This is an image we will not forget for a long time, for good and for bad.

    TAcheems OP · 1 day ago · edited 1 day ago To answer the most common questions: Nothing bad happened to him to cause the haircut! He was brought in to my previous workplace as a stray and had severe hypothermia and was really beaten up. He spent 3 months with us as we nursed him back to health. However, he's got weakness in his back end and urinates down his legs sometimes. The lion cut makes it easier for me to

    Okay, this makes sense. Sometimes you have you trade your dignity for the greater good, and it seems like this is a pretty good reason. Who knows, maybe he is embracing his inner lion and letting himself roar for the first time in his nine lives.

    clean him and it helps minimize urine burn from catching in his fur. • HE LOVES this haircut. He hasn't had a hairball since he had it done and he's running and playing like a kitten. Normally he'd just laze around and sleep most of the day to keep cool, so this newfound nd breeze is bringing him lots of comfort during the summer! I work in vet med, so he is well monitored health-wise and has his vets approval for joining the n st colony.

    • He always be looking like...That. He's scrungly for life. But I wouldn't want my little man any other way. And he does have an actual name: Saltzpyre! But we never call him that.

    warthog0869 - 2 days ago I'm dying. I just got home from work. I didn't have a great day, I think my son is drinking again (sigh). But this? That's funny. Pic 2 especially. He got the cell just in time to understand what happened and feel bummed about it. Can't fake dignity without feathers. Bok bok.
