uh oh, somebody got a haircut!
Apollo, my Maine Coon, has been a pain in the rear for years and was getting worse with combing. It reached the point of having to muzzle him to demat him every time. I was getting tired of it, so I brought him to work with me to sedate him and give him a goofy haircut. It's kind of a lion cut, but not quite. I'm no groomer, so I know he looks a little silly!

Re: uh oh, somebody got a haircut!
I love this SO. MUCH.
I miss my maine coon. <3 he was one of the best cat I ever had in my life. I have a little poof ragdoll that gets the same way about grooming though, we have a stick with a brush taped to it, lol!
Re: uh oh, somebody got a haircut!
DAAAAANG i knew main coons got big but he's a beast, haha.
that kinda reminds me of the what our st. bernard would look like after my dad got him shaved down for the summer.
grooming such a monster was not fun. having a dog with a head the size of new jersey snapping at you was kinda scary.
anyways that kitty doesnt seem to mind that he's minus 50 lbs of fur haha. :gj:

Love the haircut! The cat is just too cute!

It depends. I work at a vet clinic, so I didn't have to pay for the shave or exam and pay half-off client cost for sedation and reversal. That still cost me just about $50. If your cat's well behaved (doesn't need sedation) and you can get it done at a groomer it would be cheaper. Our clinic charge for a client would include in-hospital exam, sedation, reversal and the actual shave, so about $170. Obviously this would vary a lot depending on the situation and location.
