Amazing enough, in the head-to-head matchup between Steve and his female over whether I should get a lion cut for the summer, Steve has tasted the fruits (or, should I say meats) of VICTORY! Steve convinced the female that a lion cut on a short-haired cat would look ridiculous. Also, the female, who is on an austerity kick these days, learned that our neighbor kitties' lion cuts cost $65 apiece... so that was probably the real deciding factor.In the end, the bottom line is this: I don't need no lion cut to prove that I'm the king of beasts in my household!
