Last Wednesday, I had to set an alarm for 5:30 AM for the first time in a very long time. Consequently, I didn't sleep all that great because I knew I was going to be awakened early.
We loaded the cats into their carriers and left the house at 6:30AM to head for North Reno. We dropped the cats at the groomer and went to Atlantis for breakfast.
The cats had 'the works' - their first ever baths and good trims. We opted for what is called "Lion Cut" which in hindsight may be ridiculous but it's what the groomer suggested.
We decided to get them trimmed (shaved) because no matter how much we brush them, there is always ALWAYS a ton of fur everywhere. Shaving their fur helps with shedding and in the case of long-haired Muf keeps matting off the table. The groomer complimented us on how well both cats fur looked. I was relieved because honestly, no matter how much we brush Muf, we had matting on her hind quarters and I was worried it would continue and get worse.
We played our weekly free play, made a trip to the plant nursery just down the street from Atlantis and then headed to pick them up. They did OK on the drive home - cried a lot (as they did on the drive there) but we made it home.
Nala hissed and growled at Muf for a few days - the new look was clearly something she wasn't thrilled with and seemingly didn't realize that her fur was also looking very different.
The groomer called to check in and said the growling is normal and they will get used to the new smell and the new look.
