When Fudge (our Persian princess) dumps her winter coat it just gets stuck in the rest of her fuzz, so we get her shaved. She's a black/white bicolor, and got several comments about her resemblance to a pre-shave, but the first words out of a friend's mouth when he saw her post-shave were, "Oh, my god." My brother-in-law calls her the miniature Holstein.
Adorable pets make life so much better. :-)
