Tigereans and Weres: The haircut. (short)
This short occurs in late June.
It was a hot afternoon as I pulled up to Mikaela's house with Sh'Meral and Ch'Mrr in tow. Sh'Meral had wondered why I asked them to come with. I had tried to explain what a haircut was and why I needed one. "But I think you look fine the way you are!"
I nodded. "Yes, but while I look fine, I will sweat a lot more and get hot faster. If I trim my hair, I'll feel cooler at least, and sweat a bit less."
She did not look convinced. We had not told Ch'Mrr at all, so he was completely in the dark. Mikaela let the three of us in, and after we got seated in the kitchen area, Mikaela brought out the clippers and the scissors, and I relaxed and let her start on my hair.
As soon as the clippers clicked on, Ch'Mrr visibly winced, and Sh'Meral watched as copious amounts of hair started coming off. Ch'Mrr was just staring slack-jawed, and after Mikaela tugged my hair to move my head around, I mentioned that she could have just asked me to move my head around, as it had hurt a tiny amount. She said with a smirk, "You like it and you know it."
It was Sh'Meral's turn to go slack-jawed as I snickered. Ch'Mrr finally found his voice as a large swatch of hair came off. "What in the fiery infernal realms are you doing to him?!" The two of us snickered as Sh'Meral nudged Ch'Mrr and put her paw up to his head to link.
I was busy not moving and staring at the ceiling when they finished, but I heard Sh'Meral's voice in my mind. {I explained to him what she is doing to you and why- I understand now why you are doing it.} I couldn't laugh as my throat wouldn't quite permit it, but I could talk at least. "I guess now would be a bad time to mention that some pet owners have their cats shaved for the summer for the same reason?"
I was fortunate that Mikaela needed me to keep still- otherwise Sh'Meral would have tickled me to death.
