I promise I didn’t mess up his hair before I snapped this photo.  Vazra had just settled down on the bed when I looked up, saw him, and snapped a photo.  How was I to know he’d come out looking so disheveled?

Keep in mind he’s one very bouffant cat.  All he has to do is lie down and stand right back up to have some unsightly mess take shape in his fur.  That’s typical for Persians, I know, but it’s also entertaining—until I remember how often I have to brush him to alleviate knots and tons of shedding.
