How upset would you be if....now with pic- UPDATE

you took your cat to the groomer- asked for a lion cut

explained what you meant by a lion cut

were told it wouldn't be a problem

and they pretty much just shaved your cat?

and when you picked him up- they were yelling at him and he was covered in another animals fur?

of course the owner wasn't there- I took my tip back

my poor pokey- waiting for the pic to upload from my blackberry

do you have a side profile? a lion cut is basically everything shaved except for it's head and tail.

Re: How upset would you be if....now with pic

I know what a lion cut is- my cat gets one 3 times a year and looks quite cute

but I went to a new place because I moved back to long island-

he has no mane

his tail is a mess- no poof

and his boots are hardly showing

I would never go there again

I will drive him back to bayside and wait 4 hours for him

I am going to call the owner tomorrow- I was almost crying when I saw him...he looks abused

I would have walked out with my Cat and not paid for it. That looks like something a 5 year old did.

OMG Poor Pokey - he is always adorable, but he looks mad about his new cut too! I would be mad too, a lion cut is so common, how could they mess up so badly?

Re: How upset would you be if....now with pic

well I just called the owner

and he YELLED at me

he said I embrassed his customers and his worker...the one who did that

that I acted crazy- I guess when I asked for my money back holding my cat that was crying and covered in black fur

so he wont give me my money back b/c I didn't act like a lady

The name of the place is the The Show Dog "Artistry in Grooming" in Wantagh

he was also selling puppies- yorkies, Bichons and poodles- I suspect they are puppy mill dogs- 5 in a cage- it made me uneasy from the minute I walked in - I would love to investigate this if anyone knows how to go about it

Re: How upset would you be if....now with pic- UPDATE

if they sell dogs period then they're puppy mill/backyard breeder dogs.

i'm not trying to play advocate but maybe your cat wasn't behaving and that's why the job is choppy? it's still ridiculous how he talked to you

they called him a good cat at the place he used to go to- never a problem

Take as many pics as possible of your kitty and file a complaint with both the Department of Consumer Affairs and with the local SPCA. I'd also hit up the ASPCA and see if there are any other complaints against them for the dogs they sell. Dogs sold in pet stores are PM or BYB dogs - period.

Oh and this is BS. Your cat and you were tramautized. WHo the EFF is he to judge your lady-like manners.

Sorry but this guy sounds like a piece of work. Are the groomers certified? Did they require proof of vaccination before you would take your cat there? Just trying to think of some more concrete items that you can file complaints about.

Poor Pokey... He looks so disheveled.. I would definitely complain and report them to whoever you have to.. I can't believe the owner yelled at you and wouldn't give you your money back bc you didn't act like a lady.. WHO says THAT?? @sshole
