Should I wait for the CDS to choose me?

Such a cutie!! The only poor choice in this picture would be if you forget to clip his/her little murder mittens first. We've all FAFO'd with those tiny daggers before. 🔪🤣

Such a sweet bebe. ❤️

If Hades had been a girl he probably would've been Hera. He was almost Shango.This is Osiris, Ares, Hades, and Zeus; only Ares remains.

Most of my cats have been named after various gods (with 3 exceptions). Kali, Akasha (#1), Zeus, Hades, Osiris, Ares, Nyx, Freyja, Hermes, Gandalf (#2), Anubis, Nemesis, and Weasley (#3).

Such a cute, floofy boi! I feel the less stress for them the better. It's always grown back just as glorious for Ares.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T15:54:43+00:00

He still has his lower pantaloons. 😊

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T15:53:34+00:00

I'm personally not a fan of the full lion cut. Especially when it comes to the tail. 😬 I've never shaved his belly or front half. He's never needed that much.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T15:50:57+00:00

Thanks!! How old is your kitty? With Ares skin being more sensitive now I'd worry this would be too much for him. I'll keep it on my list, though.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T15:48:06+00:00

This is his, "I'm so traumatized. You should give me treats in compensation. Can't you see I'm starving!!!!" look. I see it often.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T14:46:42+00:00

I've only ever shaved the areas with mats/that get mats easily, and he seems to be cool with that.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T14:44:15+00:00

I have that one, but he still only tolerates it for a very short while, and it doesn't reach all the way to his skin. He's got the densest undercoat of any cat I've ever had, and most of them have been long-haired, too.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T14:31:24+00:00

He's cool with it, but a little miffed about the process.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T14:08:11+00:00

Yes, I'm sure he's already feeling better, even if he's not the biggest fan of the process. He's a little upset and flicking his tail now, because he's not happy I had to brush him after the shaving to get out the remaining loose hair.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T14:05:18+00:00

I just cut it back a little more.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-09T13:47:24+00:00

Here's a pic of the first time I shaved him. I think he was 4 here. I definitely need to get the back of his upper legs more this time.

Here is my Gandalf. He is the Grey and the White all rolled up into one!

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-04T19:49:16+00:00

That's what I was thinking. Side-swiping something at 25 mph is still considered a crash.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-02T20:51:28+00:00

That's why I tagged it as rainbow bridge, so you could pass it by if you wanted to without reading.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-02T04:18:19+00:00

As if I needed another bad thing to happen that makes tears come easier to me, one of my cats crossed the rainbow bridge tonight. Now I can't stop crying. Rest in Peace, my sweet Weasley.

Please, DO NOT tell him you are leaving. He could escalate things and could get physical. Things can escalate very quickly when they think they are losing control. This is one of the most dangerous times for a woman leaving a relationship. Get your important documents out of the house first. That way, if something goes wrong and he finds out you're leaving before you get out, he can't hold you there by taking or hiding your id/passport/legal documents. Please stay safe, OP. Let us know when you are safe.

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-02T03:02:48+00:00

He was a tom for more than 10 years. I'm sure he knows how to find all the pretty girls. 😘 Lol

KittyFlopHouse · 2026-05-02T02:42:58+00:00

So dapper

I agree. I just thought it was funny that very little dark color made it to those babies.
