Sadly, the lady didn’t do a great job. I will be taking him back tomorrow to be evened out as his fur is kind of all over the place length-wise. Ossie is a good sport for sure!
First, please excuse the open closet as it is a mess. Secondly, I am disappointed to see that he still has full fur on his limbs because I was under the impression that he would just have little tufts at his paws.
UPDATE: We are going back to get him evened out. The groomer was very nice about it.

Well, that explains why he is getting so big. After a bit of research, I learned that these cats can grow to 20 plus pounds, have a distinctive meow, and generally like water. Additionally, they also grow until age 4 or 5. Since he is 1 and a half and checks in at 13.7 lbs, we probably have a ways to go.
In related news, Clara has a tabby pattern (apparently tabby is not a specific breed) and has the mark of the M on her forehead. She also has thumbs, which I think are awesome.
Oscar at 10 months and 8 lbs.
Clara at 1 and a half and 7 lbs.
