Kingsley’s Corner: My Mohawk!

So I’m sure most of you are keeping up with your Brazilian… but since it is now summer, we all need to start finding more ways to keep cool. I know most of you humans like to wear less clothes when it gets hot, but cats can’t just take off our fur coat. Us cats need some help with this one. We need a haircut!

It was a nice, yet hot summer day. I was just lounging next to Brittany on the couch after she came home from class in the late afternoon. We always enjoy sitting together to catch up on our TV shows in front of Brit’s laptop. She will usually sit to the side and I will snuggle up next to her and lay my head on her lap. It was just so hot that day. The doors were open to let air in and the air-conditioning just started up. While Brittany was petting me, I think she noticed a few mats of fur. She went to go grab some scissors and started snipping away. After the first mat was gone, she paused and giggled. Then she started cutting more and more fur. I was just too exhausted from the day to move or care what my hair looked like, but I liked the attention I was getting. When Brittany started snipping my belly fur, I tried to tell her to stop because I like my belly fur. She stopped and then went for my butt! This was kind of uncomfortable! I kicked the scissors away and stood up. I turned around and sat the other direction. I saw Brit collecting a ton of hair from the couch. Was that all mine? I wasn’t sure what to think of it but, she should probably do whatever she did to the other side. So I stayed there until she seemed finished. Then I hopped off the couch to stretch my legs and see what had happened. The hair on my sides was so smooth! I could feel the air so close to my skin. It felt so nice. I guess it was a little choppy though because Brit kept running over to me to touch it up. It wasn’t until I walked into Hilary’s room later that day that I saw the real deal. I had a mohawk!
