Pussycat, Pussycat, Where Have You Been?

"Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?

I've been to London to visit the Queen.

Pussycat, pussycat, what have you there?

I frightened the little mouse under the chair."

Abigail, our 10-year-old Maine Coon cat, spent the morning at the "beauty parlor" getting a "lion cut." She'd become very matted and wasn't very patient about being combed out.

Here are before and after photos:

We've since ditched the cute, little, yellow-with-autumn-leaf bows. The dog was pestering her, trying to get a better look. (I think inwardly he was snickering at her. His day will come.)

So....

"Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I've been to the groomer...see what I mean?
Pussycat, pussycat, what have you there?
I've had all my hair cut off and look like Fuzzy-Wuzzy-Bear."
