Poor Tiger...

Above: After the big shave

Our poor cat Tiger is, well, obese. He was 26 pounds and he's finally down to 22 pounds. We don't actually know if he lost 4 pounds or if when they shaved him yesterday, they cut off 4 pounds of hair.... You see every year we have to have Tiger shaved (he is 4 years old), he is so big and furry (mostly big) that he can't reach his bottom to clean himself, so we must have him shaved. Every year when he first gets home, his sister, Lilly (who you can see in the background) hisses at him for a good week, until she finally realizes that it is actually her brother, or she actually thinks each year we get rid of one cat and bring home another....which wouldn't altogether surprise me, as most of you know Lilly has 6 claws on one foot, 7 on the other and her dew claws (which should be in front) are in back. She is also cross eyed....yes we hit the jackpot with her, with all that said, we also think she is retarded, so who knows what she is thinking! Ok enough about the cat.
