It’s good to be a cat: you turn to one side — everyone admires you and you turn to the other side — everyone keeps admiring you. But then suddenly they take scissors and give you a “lion” cut, making sure to post the photos of the new you on the internet. All this leaves you sitting on the windowsill with the only bush of hair left at the end of your tail, pondering about the vicissitudes of fate.

We at Bright Side spent several days looking through users’ “before-after” pictures and came to the conclusion that successful grooming can make anyone from a rabbit to a dog look beautiful. On the contrary, a bad haircut can turn everything upside down. The good thing is that no matter what, these pets will still be loved as much as before.

“We groomed our cat because we got tired of his fur. Now I keep endlessly telling him that he is a handsome guy.”

When your haircut is perfect from head to paws:

“Our neighbors groomed their cat today: from fluffy and big to this…”

“This is my friend’s cat. They removed her fur because of flea issues. They say she is offended now.”

“I wanna groom the rabbits like this but idk a grooming place that caters to rabbits. They only do dog grooming and sometimes cats.”

“I had my cat groomed and afterward I found… a skeleton of another cat.”

“3 pairs of hands, my panic, a bag of fur, and you can see the most velvet-like and the sweetest cat on earth.”

All in all, we believe that cats are not the best candidates when it comes to grooming. Moreover, there is an opinion that says their natural heat exchange gets disrupted, and their tender skin may end up getting burnt from the sun, not to mention their broken self-esteem. On the other hand, it’s only with the help of scissors that we can get rid of fur dreadlocks and shedding. What is your opinion: to groom or not to groom?
