This Cat Got A Haircut And Ended Up Looking Like A Slinky
Some pet haircuts are so bad they stop being a grooming issue and start becoming a family event. That is exactly what happened when one cat came home looking a little too dramatic for everyone’s taste.
In this story, Caitlin shared a family group text about her cat, Oliver, after a haircut left him looking far different than expected. Her mother was not impressed, her dad got pulled into the conversation, and the whole thing quickly turned into a running joke about Oliver’s new look.
By the time the photos hit Twitter, people had plenty to say about the cat who somehow ended up looking like a slinky.
Caitlin Tweeted a screenshot of her family's group text about their cat, Oliver.

This family group chat did not hold back.
Caitlin's mother? Not all that impressed with the situation!
The text explains that Caitlin's dad took Oliver for his grooming appointment (which they had waited two months for), and now her mom can't even look at him!

Here are a couple of pictures her mother included to show off Oliver's "ridiculous" haircut.

Honestly, Oliver kind of looks like an edgy teenager trying out a new look his parents don't approve of!
(We've all been there, Oliver!)

Caitlin wanted answers, so she asked her dad what happened.
Caitlin texted her dad to find out what happened.
It turns out he was playing a joke.

I can't decide if Oliver likes his new look or not.

Caitlin also shared an adorable picture of what Oliver looked like beforehand.

Fetch some apple-bottom jeans because Oliver has the boots with the fur!!

Once the photos went up, Twitter had a field day.
This family’s “can’t even look at him” reaction matches the mom who gave her dog an extreme makeover, leaving it bald.
Folks on Twitter began losing it with laughter.

Naturally, Oliver has gone viral, and people have shared their interpretations of his look.

One person thinks he looks like this...

And another thought of a potato on a stick!

Whereas others thought he may have been going for a more dinosaur-esque look.

The internet really committed to the bit.
Not to mention this cartoonish interpretation.

Of course, this response feels pretty realistic...

Oliver may never live this haircut down.
