Cats get a shearing



This is Ruth and her lovely assistant Lorren. On Monday Ruth gave the cats their annual shearing, I think Lorren mostly just watched. When Lorren was about to be born Ruth and Jim (side note...keep Jim in your prayers, after chemo and other treatments looks like they might have found a spot it could be something it could be nothing, so he is going for a scan, but as you can imagine this time is a bit tense, so a few prayers I am sure would be appreciated by Jim and Ruth) came to find out about Baptism and we got on the topic of cats and getting their fur trimmed back and wouldn't you know Ruth said she could do it...SWEET! Well that was a few years ago and each year about this time, Lilly and Ooti get a summer haircut. Well the whole process works like this. I get up early and give the cats a sedative, for Ruth and their protection. It takes affect pretty quickly and the cats slow down considerably. Then Ruth stops by to pick up the cats and about an hour later they are done. The picts you can find below...



Well since I now have this blog I knew I should get some photos and since it was just too cute to see the cats going about their so slowly and clumsily I also took some video. Enjoy
