From an e-mail list:
"My sister-in law is from Oklahoma and
has a slight accent. She has cats and
when she lived in the south she would
take them to the groomers and have
what is called a Line Cut. To her a line
cut is when all of the fur
hanging down below the cat's tummy is
taken off (because it gets matted or
snarled).
When she moved to Chicago with my
brother, one of the cats fur got all
tangled up during the move so she
took it in for a line cut. She was quite
surprised when she heard the price as
it was twice as much as it was down
south. She confirmed with the groomer
that he understood what a line cut was
and he said "yes, I know what a LION
cut is."
It seems her accent came out
sounding like LION not LINE and this is
how her
cat was returned to her. She cried for a
week...but not as much as the cat.
It was November in Chicago and the
cat needed all the fur it had. See
photos.

Getting the look from one seriously pissed off cat: Priceless!
