Is Miss Opie a Sophisticat or Chupacabra? You decide. We went down this road with Marigold a while back. Opie doesn’t like the brush, so she got matted, and finally I had to take drastic action by taking her to the groomer. She was pleased it was not the veterinarian, I think. Her tail looks like a cat toy, and the two boys Scooby and Zeke are attracted to it when she waves her tail around. I had a pill for “relaxation” for her so she would be manageable.

Sophisticat or Chupacabra?

Opie a little blurry-must be the tranquilizer!

I think she looks a bit like a lioness

Yes, that is drastic… but I’m sure all that beautiful fur will be growing back in very soon… really like that tail though!

A bit of a shock at first sight, but you are right, Roslyn, it will all grow back again pretty fast! Thanks for you comment

You are awful cute with a hair cut like that!
But I must say…If Ninja got that cut, then my comment on Wednesday to him being a dog would have been even more appropriate!

A bit of a shock to look at, at first. She is quite happy now the matted fur is gone. The two “boys” have no problems. Thanks for your comments Ellen.

Personally Greg does not like the Pom Pom, but he agrees a tail like a possum would be worse! Thanks for your comment Ellen.

That is a unique cut. I like that she kept long furs on her neck and legs. I bet it feels strange for her to have short hair on her body and most of her tail. She’s avant garde with this cut, so she’s a sophisticat, not a Chupacabra

Whoa it looks like she’s wearing little furry slippers! Adorable! I wish we’d given my late boy Jelly Bean a relaxing pill before his hair cut as he was very upset during the process. However, afterwards he could not have been happier having the matted fur gone! Oh and I vote for Sophisticat. 🙂

I’d expect a Chupacabra to be a lot scarier! Opie is too cute for that!
(Though I admit I LOL’d at her tail. I suppose there’s not a lot you can do once you’ve shaved all the hair off of a tail, unless you want it to look rat-like. But the pompom looks like a natural cat toy.)

Looks like a possum tail or some kind of marsupial. I should have left it the way it was. Sophisticat votes winning! Thanks for your comment Hangaku.

Yes I had a Sheltie like that, and whenever I would take him to the groomers to get clipped he would always be so happy when we got home. The funny thing though, was that the cats I had at the time seemed very confused when they saw him!
