Jin Jin, a charming Persian cat, isn’t one to shy away from the newest in odd feline hair fashion trends, but even he might admit that it’s gone a bit too far in this case.
Jin Jin’s owner, Xie Qian Qian, like many other owners of long-haired cats, has him shaved every now and then to keep him cool and the house less coated in fallen hair. He’s returned from the groomer in the past with a cute lion-style trim, primarily leaving the fur on his head and tail undisturbed.
He generally appears as follows:
A few months back, Jin Jin was slated to visit the groomer, but Qian was too busy to take him herself. So, she entrusted a friend to drop him off there — but apparently, there was some miscommunication about what sort of haircut he was to receive.
Rather than his normal ‘do, what Jin Jin received instead gave the uncanny appearance of a kitty wearing a cat mask:
Qian was taken away by Jin Jin’s fresh look when she arrived to pick him up.
“I was taken aback by the groomer’s decision to shave him like that.” Qian told The Dodo, “I can’t be blamed for that.” Despite this, she said that when she saw him, she couldn’t help but grin.
When Qian initially took the cat home, her husband wasn’t thrilled with the cat’s haircut, but he soon began to chuckle as well.
Sure, it’s a pretty terrible haircut, but even Jin Jin himself didn’t seem to mind too much.
“My cat is a very tame and good cat,” Qian said.
Fortunately, like with most hair mishaps, all it takes is time and care to get things back to normal.
In reality, Jin Jin is starting to resemble his original self again, rather than a monster disguised as a cat.
Sorry, Jin Jin. Bad haircuts can happen to anyone.
