Hair

As you may recall, a few days ago I blogged about Eli, my Maine Coon cat, being shaved.

The vet tech. said at the time that he would probably be a few pounds lighter once this was done, (The cat, not the vet tech. however; the tech worked over an hour on the cat; the tech. looked thinner at the end, too) and by looking at the mound of fur, I didn't doubt what he said.

So, we weighed him (the cat, people, the cat!). His usual twenty pound self is now a svelte eighteen pounds.

Why, oh why, have I not thought of this??

Humans have hair everywhere, too, you know.

I think we are a lot more shiny without all our peach fuzz, and certainly a bald pate is obvious.

But, still...two whole pounds!

Shine on....
