Chris just forwarded this to me......



"My sister-in law is from Oklahoma and has a slight accent. She has cats and when she lived in the south she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a Line Cut. To her a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat's tummy is taken off because it gets matted or snarled). When she moved to Chicago with my brother, one of the cats fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a line cut. She was quite surprised when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a line cut was and he said "yes, I know what a LION cut is." It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her. She cried for a week...but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had."

Gas in car to go to groomers $4.50
Cat car carrier $32.99
Grooming fee $80.00
Getting the look from one seriously pissed off cat Priceless!

Couldn't help but do a lol at first...

That cat is so ugly it's cute.

Line, lion. I might could see how non-Southerners might make the mistake between the 2 words. I think if I was her, I'd spell the type of cut I'd want the next time.

I hope that cat was VERY heavily sedated when they did that to it.

How precious is that FACE??!! What a picture!!
I think my DH would LOVE it if I would take my cat in for a LION CUT. She is white, long haired and he HATES the shedding. I'm not sure my kitty would LIKE the cut though!!

I work at an animal hospital that does grooming, and yes we do have clients ask for a LION cut and thats about what it looks like, a skinned cat with a mane and tail
