So Sage is one of our cats, and if you don't know about him... he's got issues. One of his OCD's is that he eats the hair on his tail, and he doesn't groom himself very well. It is summertime and we decided to shave Sage, so he won't be uncomfortable in the heat when he goes outside. Last year TJ knocked him out and did it at the Vet's office. We decided to take this on ourselves and buy a $25 pet clipper at Target.
FYI: if you're going to buy pet clippers, don't waste money on cheap ones (a.k.a., $25 Target clippers). Sage was remarkably cool about getting shaved while conscious. However, the clippers kept getting jammed, so Christy cut him first with scissors. Later we came back and tried to even him out with the clippers. Here's the photographic evidence of the hack job we did on the poor cat. He'll have to live with it though... we're not spending more on good clippers or taking him to the vet. Sage doesn't seem to care the way that he looks, and he has been much happier since his cut.
