The Lion

Nelson got a lion cut today, because the summer heat has been bothering him. So far he's not too happy about it. He's all jumpy because he can feel things on his skin, and I guess it feels weird to him. He walks through the yard and he leaps in the air every time a blade of grass touches his skin. He can't settle down because whatever he touches feels strange. And he's grooming himself obsessively.

Enzo and Sashi can't believe their eyes. He's half the cat he used to be, and they're not sure it's the same cat. I feel sorry for him because he looks so vulnerable now. Hopefully he'll get a little fur back soon. But not too much. I don't want to have to go through this again any time soon.
