"Give My Cat a Line Cut"
The story goes that the owner of this cat is from Oklahoma and has a slight accent. She has cats and when she lived in the south she would take them to the groomers and have what is called a Line Cut. To her a line cut is when all of the fur hanging down below the cat's tummy is taken off (because it gets matted or snarled).
When she moved to Chicago, one of the cats' fur got all tangled up during the move so she took it in for a line cut. She was quite surprised upon picking up her cat, when she heard the price as it was twice as much as it was down south. She had confirmed with the groomer that he understood what a line cut was and he said "yes, I know what that is." It seems her accent came out sounding like LION not LINE and this is how her cat was returned to her. (see photos below) She cried for a week...but not as much as the cat. It was November in Chicago and the cat needed all the fur it had
