Gizmo's First Grooming Experience

For Christmas we thought we'd get our precious little Gizmo groomed. For those of you that have seen Gizmo, he's a big ball of fluff. He is most definately a long haired cat. He has a huge fluffy tail and a thick white beard below his chin. Because of this he sheds constantly and has hair ball issues. Poor little guy. So a few days ago I took him to the groomer. Getting him in the car was quite interesting and when I dropped him off I felt so horrible. He was shaking and meowing, he was down right scared. So here is his before shot.

And here is his after. He looks like a sheep that just got shaved when you see him up close. It's kind of hard to see in the pictures. The most hilarious part is that the short hair stops about a 1/2 inch below his head and tail. So his head and tail still have the long fluffy hair. We think he likes it though because he wants us to pet him all the time lately. He weighed 13 pounds with all his hair and since his haircut he weighs just a little over 12 pounds. We like our big fluffy Gizmo a little bit better!
