So I had my cat shaved yesterday and then last night before work, I was cuddling with her and noticed she had a HUGE nick!
I understand 1. my cat is moody 2. my cat is 19 and this was a scary experience 3. shaving a cat is scary for a human 4. accidents happen 5. she squirms 6. it is in the bend of her thigh/belly.. more on the leg, but obviously that would be an easy place to slip on with a squirmy kitty.
HOWEVER. I am NOT happy that they failed to tell me when I picked her up.
I would have been sad had they told me, but they kept it from me and I feel deceived.
I am about to call them and tell them that while I was mostly happy with their work, I feel this deception is unacceptable.
I only paid 35$ and personally that is not much, and I do not expect them to credit me 10$ or whatnot. That wasn’t the deal, "get a discount if ya let us injure your baby!"
I probably wont upset them asking them to credit my credit card… and it certainly wont fix the problem.
I put my cat through this. I feel terrible and I believe this should be addressed with the proper people.
Tell me the conversation you would have with them. They open at 8am EST and I plan to call in the next 30 minutes.
The "nick" is about the length of a dime, but the total size of only 1/3rd-1/2 of a dime. that is significant for a 3 lb 19 year old cat.
they know the cat was knicked. it was not bleeding and had obviously been treated with a clotting agent.. there was no blood.
and YES, ppl shave their cats. I did it because she is so old and moody that she insists on being outside but her long hair has been matting lately and brushing every other day was not stopping it. I needed to get the mats out so they didn’t pull on her skin. They weren’t bad, by any means, but I would have had to cut them out.. a brush wasn’t going through them.
I took her in for a lion cut and she came out looking like a ferret.
