CATURDAY ART-IN-WORDS ~and~ SATURDAY'S CRITTERS

ZOEY, now a floof of an angel, a Himalayan girl, was one of the floofiest kitties ever. 
She allowed brushing only to a certain point, then no more, no getting at
the mats 'n' lumps hidden deep under all that floof-fur.  So, the day
would always come when a spa visit was needed, and the dreaded "lion cut"
happened.  Cute?  To some, yes ~ to others, well, not so much.
And this little himmie-girl was "not so much" anymore!

Our "art" today is done with "words",
as Zo would sing her song . . .


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,
now it looks as though they're here to stay,
how I wish, meow, for yesterday.

Suddenly, I'm not half the cat I used to be,
there's no floofness hanging over me.
Meow, yesterday came too suddenly.

Why it had to go I do not know,
they would not say.
I don't understand and I meow for yesterday.

Yesterday.
How I so loved to run and play.
Now I need a place to hide away ...
yes, a place to hide away.
Where went my furs on yesterday.

We offer our humble and sincere apawlogies to John, Paul, George and Ringo whose original YESTERDAY is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

  2. I think Zoey was adorable with her lion cut. She must have felt so much better without the mats! I used to get Chumley partially shaved two or three times a year because he wouldn't let me brush anywhere near his hind end, only his neck. I should have had lion cuts for him too, he'd have looked better afterwards if I had!

  5. Poor Zoey. Those long haired kitties have it rough when they get too many matts. She did look cute in her lion cut and we love your version of Yesterday.

  7. Wow, Zoey was the floofiest floofer I've ever seen! Quite amazing to see! I do think the lion cut was cute too, though.

  8. Zoey looked so pretty with her longer furs and her lion cut. My brother had a himmie that got a lion cut for summer too.

  9. Different doesn't have to be bad, Angel Zoey, just...different. You were beautiful both ways. Back when I would groom cats, I did many a long haired cat in that cut.

  10. We do remember those days with the lion cut. We always thought Zoey was beautiful no matter how her fur was. Mom says we always look and feel nicer when we have had a spa day. Happy weekend with June.

  13. They just don't understand, do they. It's sad but needed when they won't let the brushing happen.

  14. Chaplin: "Poor Angel Zoey, getting all her furs stolen! Dennis told us about the time Trixie had to get shaved because she had developed yeast infections ― he says she looked like a completely different dog. But still very cute!"
