When number 6 shows up - just don't say a word - he will never know the difference.
Speaking of shaving cats - I have 3 cats - 2 of them are Hymilayians and have LONG, LONG fur that just leaves wads all over the house so..... my babies do get shaved !!!
Twice a year they get "Lion Cuts" - they all 3 look so cute with their big manes around their neck, boots on their feet and fluffy tails but shaved every where else. The man who grooms them, does a great job, he even cuts their manes so they don't hang real long and he gets rid of all loose fur. It has saved my sanity - the fur was just killing me - it was everywhere !!!!
You might think about it - your husband would notice all your kitties then - for sure !!! ROFL !!!
My neighbor - who has a cat that goes outside 2 or 3 times each day, says that his cat comes over and looks in the window at my 3 cats and laughs. I told him that his cat is just jelous and want a nice hairdo like mine get !!!
