A couple of weeks I took my cats, Red and Felix in to get groomed at The Best Little Cat House in Pasadena. Red is a flame point HImalayan with lots of long beautiful fur. The only problem is that he gets hairballs from cleaning himself, and it's hard to keep him from getting matted. The lady that groomed him gave him a cool summer haircut. He came home with about an inch of hair and is still strutting his stuff. I think he feels better because he's cooler in the heat, and he must think he looks pretty good too. He's even nicer to our friends when they come over. He actually goes up to them and asks to be pet, which he never did before. Go figure!
Felix is a short haired black and white cat. He used to shed so much hair no matter what clothes we wore his hair showed up. Well the nice lady at the Cat House fixed him all up. She did something called a "shed control" and now my wife and I can go out to a nice dinner without being spotted a mile away as cat owners.
By the way, they also have super luxurious cat boarding. They have 2 playrooms where the cats never have to be put in cages. I was really impressed at how relaxed they all seemed, and everybody got along so well. They also have private rooms if you don't want your cat to socialize. My kids had so much fun playing with all the cats I could hardly get them out of there, even when I tried to bribe them with ice cream.
