Jin Jin the cat is a fluffy Persian kitty who requires a lot of maintenance to keep his coat clean and comfortable.

Living in Taiwan, Jin Jin usually gets his hair trimmed every few months to combat the summer heat and humidity.

But, as all of us have experienced a few times in our lives, Jin Jin got a hair cut that turned out to be a little… much.

Qian, Jin Jin’s owner, usually takes Jin Jin to the groomer herself but was too busy this time around, so she entrusted a friend with the task.

There was an obvious miscommunication.

“I was surprised the groomer would shave him like that. I can’t be blamed for it,” Qian told The Dodo. Still, she admits that she couldn’t help but smile when she saw him.

He looks like a cat wearing the mask of another cat.

Qian said her husband wasn’t too pleased about the cat’s hairstyle when she first brought him back home, but he was soon laughing as well.

Jin Jin didn’t seem to mind too much, for he is a “very tame and good cat.”

All in all, as most bad hair days come into our lives, it just takes some time to get past it.

Jin Jin is already looking like his old self… and Qian will leave clear instructions if she ever has to have a friend take Jin Jin to the groomer again.
