Almost everyone has to deal with a ‘bad hair day’ once in a while, but it turns out cats can have pretty bad haircuts as well, or rather have a ‘bad fur day’. That was definitely the case with the somewhat grumpy-looking but otherwise adorable Persian cat named Jin Jin.
Jin Jin received a haircut from the groomer, but it’s not exactly what his boss Xie Qian Qian expected it to be. His owner regularly brings him to the groomer to keep his fur a little bit on the shorter side which helps him cool down in the warm climate and it also helps keeping the house cleaner with less hair.
Over the years, Jin Jin returned from the groomer with a fairly normal trim – but this visit definitely wasn’t for just a regular haircut.
His owner Xie was really busy and it was time for Jin Jin to trim his fur once again, so Xie simply asked a friend to drop her cat at the groomer and give him instructions. It appears that a small communication mishap happened in regards to Xie’s haircut wishes.
Instead of giving Jin Jin his normal trim, the groomer shaved off Jin Jin’s hair almost everywhere except for his face. The result is a hilarious look of Jin Jin which appears to have a cat mask of some sorts. His furry face definitely shocked Xie when she returned.
“I was surprised the groomer would shave him like that. I can’t be blamed for it,” Xie mentioned to The Dodo.
Luckily, that emotion of surprise quickly turned to laughter as you really can’t help but smile when you see adorable little Jin Jin. Xie’s husband wasn’t entirely happy with the hairdo at first, but quickly smirked and laughed about the hilarious situation as well.
As for Jin Jin himself, luckily fur grows back quite quickly. The cat is now back to his usual self, and we’re pretty sure Xie will leave very detailed instructions at the groomer from now on.
Bad haircuts happen all the time – even with cats.
