Well, it was going to eventually happen… Chloe and Pink couldn’t be together forever. And the moving situation became the cat-alyst (stupid pun?) of their separation. So, from my perspective, I wanted this to be as stress-free an event as possible. But not everyone (yes, I’m speaking of Chris) is thoughtful enough to consider that.
So, here are the stresses that Chloe was going to experience

  • Separation from sister — first time ever
  • Adjustment to new home

That should be enough for Chloe to have to adjust to right? Well, what could we do to make that any worse? How about shaving the cat?
Yes, I said shaving the cat. Chris went and got Chloe groomed into a “Lion’s Cut” where the fur is shaved from the body except for her head, paws, and the end of her tail. This kind of a cut is usually done on long-haired cats to keep the hair from matting up in knots. But Chris decides to cut Chloe this way because “he thinks it would look cool”!!! FUCKING IDIOT!!!
So, instead of just being freaked out about looking for Pink, and wondering where’s she’s staying, she has to itch and hope the other cats don’t laugh at her. I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand. I guess placing all of the traumas on Chloe at once is better than subjecting her to several separate stresses over a period of time? But maybe not.
