OMG, he got a lion cut! That’s awesome!  
You’ll have to post some pics of him where we can see his face!  
Congrats!

He’s looking down, like, “Oh, the indignity! It is more comfy this way, but I cannot let the human know.”

Shaved or unshaven he’s still quite adorable.

I will revisit this in about two weeks time and add a few more pictures when he has more fur.

I used to get the medium hair kitty clipped when the weather outside was above comfortable room temperature. For me, that’s about 70-76 degrees F. I have no idea what that translates into for C. She’d be mad about it for a couple of days, but then she’d be happy because she didn’t have all that fur on her, keeping her hot.

I would think that it would be autumn, or starting to be autumn, in your area. Here in Texas, USA, it’s just starting to be spring. We had freezing weather a few nights ago, but it’s warmed up again.

He looks mad, but if you notice his wiskers are sticking forward which means he’s happy and ready to play.
