A lion cut is for when a cat becomes severely matted.

A teddy bear cut is for cats that have no matting, but the owners still want a shortish cut.

The lion cut was originally the term used by vets to explain to cat owners what their cat would look like once the cut was completed.

The lion cut can be achieved in a number of different styles depending on what the cat owner finds more pleasing to the eye, after all it is a drastic clip.

These cuts can allow the cat owner to enjoy their cat without any of the hard work of everyday grooming.

Reasons to consider a teddy bear or lion trim:

• Lower maintenance demands between grooming appointments.
• Reduces shedding.
• Reduces problems with hairballs.
• Reduces problems with matting.
