That's a real good question. For a few years now, we've been using a mobile pet groomer. She comes to you and she grooms your pet(s) with whatever you want. She has this cool van kitted out with everything she needs. All the seats in the middle have been removed. In its place are a table, a harness to keep the animal in place, and even a portable shower for those shampooing needs.
Our male cat's a Himalayan, so you can imagine what his coat looks like. Since it's warming up here in the Pacific Northwest, we figured we'd give him and his sister some relief. He gets the buzz cut, as his coat gets thicker than hers. Her cut's a little less extreme. They both get their nails done, a shampoo, and the cuts. Man, they smell so good when we get them back. Not that they smelled bad beforehand, but you know what I mean.
From what the groomer tells us, Dunkaloo needs the harness. The female kitty doesn't. Must be that female thing with being at the spa and being pampered.
She even has a cool name for her business: Purrs & Barks. Though I can assure you, he's not doing any purring when he's receiving the treatment. You can hear him whining from outside the van. The female kit, on the other hand, just loves it.
So what's a "short mop" look like? A little shorter than your avatar's hair?
