Catastrophe
? 
You and me, and me and you…
so happy, together…
? Conquistador looks in the mirror at herself and pounds her front paws at the mirror trying to figure out what this twisted psychotic device is.
Shnookums’ usual look.
Shnookums’ fur got really knotted, we think it was from feeding them cheap generic brand cat food.? Since Persian cats have such long fur they are real prone to matting.? A common solution is to give them a “lion cut” so they can regrow their fur.? This is the second time we had to give him one.? The cat? groomer we took him to wasn’t as good as the last one.? I think the long fur on his legs looked better shorter like the previous time we had it done, also the neck line wasn’t as impressive.
? His head looks way too big for his body after the “Lion Cut” because they leave the hair long on the face, legs, and end of tail… like a lion.? The? idiot cat groomer accidentally cut Shnooks’ right whiskers in half.
? When Shnookums has his full coat of fur everyone says he’s a fat cat.? In fact he is completely skinny and boney.? The vet is very impressed with him? because he is very fit and muscular even though he is an indoor cat.
After the haircut, the groomer gave Shnooks a dry foam bath.? He smelled good to us but lost his own smell.? His fur does have a distinct smell.? Cherish and I can both smell it and as weird as it sounds it’s? quite a pleasant smell.? On the other hand we can’t smell Conquistador.? After Shnooks returns from the groomer, Quisy becomes confused and doesn’t recognize his appearance and scent.? He kept trying to play with her, “Hey it’s just me,”? but she would have nothing to do with him.? They spent the next two weeks separated and every time he came near her she would puff out her fur and hiss loudly at him.? During this time Quisy displayed hints that she was claiming dominance as she thinks he is new and she thinks she was the first one here.
Shnooks really likes plants.? ? We picked him up some cat grass to give him a distraction from the discomfort of his new haircut and help him cope with temporarily losing? his best friend Quisy who wants nothing to do with him.? The cat grass is organic and specially made for cats to eat and digest.? I think it has a different smell that attract the cats also.
? He loves his grass
? Yum
Conquistador says “You don’t look familiar and you sure don’t smell familiar.? What are you doing in my house?”
Finally after two weeks he gets his smell back.? ? She realizes he’s the same Shnooks that she’s always known.? She hissed less and less at him and finally they are back to playing and cuddling like they used to.
