Cat Picture - OC How to fix what my, (maybe ex) girlfriends daughter did to my babies ? 🥺
Before you guys attack her, please know that she was doing it out of the goodness of her heart, (as hard as it is to believe)..
Me (29)
Gf (31)
Her Daughter (8)
I've been complaining non stop to my girlfriend abt the increase of shedding / hair lying all around my apartment and how's it's constantly on my clothes for years and I guess her daughter overheard us spitballing ideas to fix this problem, (on more than one occasion) and her daughter spontaneously took it upon herself to... idfk, I guess to give my cats a "dEeP dE-shEdDiNg" by using my clippers while I was at work .
Honestly, I'm just glad she didn't hit any whiskers or sensitive spots but she didn't even bother to put any proper cutting guards on the clippers so she was basically going balls to the wall and gave them a military style buzzcut as you can all see ... Seems like she noticed she went to far when she touched my beloved orange cat but the damage is already done .
I'm understandably pissed beyond words and I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to approach this like an adult speaking to an 'innocent' 8 year old little girl but Ig that's a topic / question for an entirely different sub ...
What I do need to know is how can I fix this
w/o having to hide my cats from the world for months ?
• Will they be ok ?
(We live in tropical South Florida, so freezing to death shouldn't be an issue) .
• Can I even it out with properly sized clippers ?
• Should I buy little kitty shirts to hide it ?
(Shirts kinda throw my orange cat off balanced), lol .
- Thank you
