Translation: Today is the day on which Jiji and Yoyo had haircuts..*^^ Yoyo, perhaps because he has done it before, is fine with anesthetics… but our Jiji is still under anesthesia (even now).. I’m cleaning (the house)… and keeping a constant watch.

Anesthesia is dangerous…
It is, they should stop doing this to Yoyo and Jiji, furthermore these haircuts look kind of ridiculous.
I hate haircuts on cats!!!! and under anesthesia!!! holy moly this got me so worked up.
In korea it is very common for pet cats get grooming especially during hot summer.
It is stroongly recommended by vets as well.
And as for my knowledge they get groomed under tranquilizer not anesthesia.
i dont think we need to get critisism for that.
its not that we are doing horrible things to cats, its just we dont want our cat getting sick from the summer heat and sometimes maybe ther furs are too much to handle during humid summer.
arent you guys overreacting? it’s not as if jae’s sister is the one who administered the anesthesia to the cats..im sure there’s an explanation why the cat was given anesthesia and why they had a haircut in the middle of hot summer lol..ive never had cats but im sure the vet who administered the anesthesia is more knowledgeable than you when it comes to these things and cats or else im sure it would be prohibited everywhere if it’s not safe..
yes, my cats have no haircat for years and nothing is wrong.
Please stop it! Let them be as they are, pelase…..l
Awww…^^ So squishy…look at those paws! I wanna squish ’em! 😀
But Leo’s still my ultimate kitty. Sorry Jiji-sama! XD But you’re still so cute!
aww poor Jiji!! he looks weird! I guess is the anesthesia but I think it’s unfair to do that to him if he doesn’t want to cut his hair TT^TT
Okay so I’m one of those people that really dislikes when owners do grooming things to their pets… and under anesthesia???? Sorry, I am actually really angry they did that to Jiji.
So am I. Anesthesia is not something to take lightly, it is still a medical process and it does bear risks. Too much of it can cause side effects such as nausea, headaches and even brain damage. I wish JJ’s sister would stop doing this kind of things to Yoyo and Jiji, even more when we know these poor cats have to undergo such a risky procedure for the sake of getting an haircut, which is honestly freakin ridiculous and useless.
have to agree with you. it is not really necessary and it can be dangerous. cats clean themselves regularly and shed too. they take care of their hair themselves. i bet these cats live in air conditioning too so its not like they are in the heat all day. i have had lots of cats both long and short. i think it is mainly a cosmetic thing or i can see it if they are outdoor cats with long hair or are older and have trouble grooming themselves? the lovely thing about cats is they are largely self maintainence animals lol!
aw Jiji, why it looks thinner, just like Jae .. please eat more, Jiji, so Jae also eat more too
LOL, Jiji like his owner looks skinny TT
I don’t understand why they give haircuts to these poor cats, cats don’t need haircuts ! And getting anesthesia is never very good for the organism so it’s something which should be avoided (except when it’s if for something like a very severe injury/illness or a sterilization for example). Maybe someone should warn JJ’s sister about this…
I agree with you. I’ve never heard of a cat getting a hair cut and under anesthesia?! Never heard of that. We use to groom our dog’s hair, but they don’t put her under.
hahahh a lo lejos veo una foto de JYJ…plop!!
i can see JYJ’s photo on the wall hahah.. lov it ♥♥♥
poor Jiji he’s still under anesthesia >_<
awww poor jiji he look dazed because of the anesthesia
why does they have to cut his hair, is it because it’s summer??
lol this better not turn into another comment section full of complaints by faux cat specialists. jaejoong’s cats have it good.
maybe they own cats themselves.
and they’re right.
If people want to own pets they should take care of them
and health should always trump appearance,
1) i’m sure they had a professional do it, so there’d be no danger involved…
2) why is everybody so sure that they’re doing this for purely aesthetic purposes?
3) are you implying that his cats aren’t being taken care of?
i’m not trying to override other people’s experiences with /their/ own pets, but i’ve worked at a veterinary hospital for over six years and i see nothing wrong with how jiji and yoyo are being treated. dressing up/shaving/grooming/etc. your cat or dog =/= any form of animal abuse nor does it prove negligence on the owner’s part.
I completely agree with you!
I am so thoroughly agree with you. I’m sure that Jaejoong and his noonas know what they are doing. So far I think what i see of them is that they are responsible adults.That you don’t do it to yours cat doesnt mean that what others do is wrong. Tsk, fandom. But then it wouldnt be a fandom if we have no one complaining about whatever lol
Guys, have any of ya’ll owned a cat? Most of them don’t like being held down which would make for a more dangerous situation when they get these haircuts. And they may look “stupid” after the haircut but at least they’re not suffering in the heat…
Hey guys, of course JJ’ sis will send Jiji to verified veterinary/groom. She wouldn’t endanger the cat.
Yes I have a cat and they perfectly fine, with their hair on. It’s better for the cat to have their normal hair. ecept the cat have some hair problems or something, and the hair must be cut, but jiji looks totaly fine. Cat’s don’t need a hair cut. They loose their hais regularly, besides that, they don’t need to get a bath as well, they can clean themself.
Haircuts for dogs and cats (especially those with lots of fur) are good during the summer. That way they don’t get too hot and develop skin sores. While using anesthesia is not ideal, it is best because pets may not stay still during the shaving process, thus getting uneven shaves or even cuts. I guess they decided to add an aesthetic aspect to the grooming.
why u look so skinny Jiji ? is it because your appa skinny too ?
aww…please eat more Jiji
Maybe it’s because of the haircut. He lost his fur.
i think the problem is the heat. Even jaejoong kinda suffer from it.
I own a cat but since mine have short hair type so i never did anything to it.
but then again i have no idea since this is also my first time with cat.
(but my cat doing fine with her hair for the past 4 years so she is fine lol)
Ooh.. I see the picture of JYJ back in 2010 when they are in japan hanging on the wall!!!!
Ooh.. I see the picture of JYJ back in 2010 when they are in japan hanging on the wall!!!! *Lovely*
But JJ know this?! I do not think i would? Or is a joke on anestic perphases the true only shaving? right?
Last year we had extremely hot summer (not usual for our places), and my friends shaved their cat for the first time in her life, because vet said she could have a heart stroke in such hit. And in Korea it’s summed up with high humidity this time of the year. So I don’t think they did it to just appease their sense of beauty or something… BTW, is it only me? but in this pic it seems as if Jiji has eyebags like JJ (*need to go check my eyes ASAP XD*)
My father is a vet and says there’s nothing wrong in cutting a cats fur, and anesthesia for a cat or any kind of small animal is dangerous yes, however in large amounts, larger than is most likely used in Jijis case.
They use the same amount for dogs who need to do something with their teeth or claws, (and also larger animals like horses who need a quick dental-appointment.) and using it for dogs and cats when they get their fur cut is not un-common. They only get enough to make them slightly sleepy, just as when they are cuddled with by us, their owners ( that kind of snoozing ) So I don’t think theres any reason to get worried 🙂 And as far as Jiji being skinny, it’s only because of his fur being cut ;D So no worries girls, I don’t think JJ would let anyone do anything dangerous to Jiji anyways ;D
yaaaay thank you !!! i am relieved now *hugs you & your daddy *
Haha no problem! : D We’ve done it to our dog cause it gets really warm in the summer and his fur is very thick, pluss he had some dental problems he needed fixing and he got some anesthesia and stayed at the vet for a couple of hours. 🙂 as I said, it’s not un-common in cases such as Jiji’s, but of course ; if they can do minor things like this without anesthesia it’s prefered and they do it, But sometimes the animal gets moody and then it’s just easier for both animal and owner to do it this way.. 🙂
Anyone who went to veterinary school or is a vet that can clear this up?
I dislike it when people say “I never did this or that to my pets, and they are still alive.” So? Each animal is different and need different things, and alive is a lot different from being comfortable. Baths, haircuts, and regular grooming doesn’t harm cats. I think it actually increases their health. Yes they do groom themselves and shed, but they are also living in different environments than the ones their behaviors are evolved from. Hair cuts are needed for some cats because their fur gets dirty and can become matted. And I think things like litter boxes, unclean toys/scratching posts, food and water set out for the whole day, etc can lead to an increase risk of infection or other problems. So grooming and taking care of your pet can help reduce those chances.
Anesthesia can be used for haircuts, it just depends on the groomer. Also, we don’t know if they also got their teeth cleaned, nails trimmed, update on vaccines, etc which in some cases do need some type of tranquilizers.
It’s not like she just left JiJi alone, she said that she’s checking up on him. The cats are being looked after, fans should stop worrying so much.
agree 100% + check what I wrote in the post above yours 🙂
But why anesthesia ? I know cats arent the easiest to get trimmed or have their hair cut better yet even give baths to but anesthesia is a bit much and to me should only be used for surgical purposes, even for humans, not used as a sort of sedative to calm the cat, if they have to do all that then he doesnt need to have his hair cut/trimmed simple as that. JiJi is also a short haired Russian Blue so im trying to understand why there is a need for him to get cut anyway, I have two American shorthairs and the most they need is brushing but I guess different strokes for different folks. And as far as temperatures go cats know how to adapt and regulate their own body temperatures, that is the reason why they lick themselves, their body temps are also higher than humans so they can adapt better to hotter weather than cold, secondly JiJi is a indoor cat, exactly how much heat is he in? If he wants his hair cut thats fine (thought I really wouldnt do it) but the anesthesia is a bit…
Persians like Yoyo need grooming to prevent matting, as their hair are very long.. not doing it would be mistreatment..
As for anesthesia.. a cat is scared of any kind of noise and wont let you approach with a clipper.. vets also use anesthesia for this..
Nooo not Jiji’s beautiful silver fur! Stop it woman! XO
I wonder if she had Jaejoong’s permission for that….if so, JaeJae is losing his mind too!
I mean, the cat clothes, fine but…..those furcuts……*gags*
Never heard of a short-haired cat getting a hair/fur cut (???) and Jiji’s fur was beautiful before…=(
Never heard of a short-haired cat getting a hair/fur cut (???)
Thats what I was saying their hair is already short really all it needs is brushing. I could see YoYo needing a cut because he is long haired but JiJi is the one I dont get.
And why the heck would she dress Jiji up in an outfit if the hair was cut for the weather reason (being too hot)…hmmm…
Why are some people so concerned about anesthesia. Of course the word “anesthesia” may sound scary and we are imagining a surgery or whatever. But with the advancement of science now, there are different types of it ;and it can be applied with a needle to inject the medicine under the skin or it is delivered through a nasal spray or applied to the skin as a gel. Maybe for Jiji, just a little spray or inject a very minimal amount to get a little drowsy. Just like medical doctors, veterinarians now have different approaches to take care of the animals depending where they get their trainings, they have never ending seminars/conventions to improve the conventional practices and I think Jae’s sis has a full professional advice and support.
So many “know-it-alls” in this post its ridiculous.
I’m glad some people who actually know about the practice have come in and set things straight.
I saw a lot of dogs and cats in Korea has their hair cut. But Jiji doesn’t need it. Yoyo maybe.
jaejoong will sad reading this post when people talk about his sis like this
¡¡¡JIJI-SAMA!!!
So Cuteeeee….
I think we should all just mind our own business and let Jae take care of his pets as he sees fit. S., whose father is a vet, says these are normal things to do. Jae would never entrust JiJi to anyone who would endanger him!
Yes, but some are just panicking with the word “anesthesia”. Even infants now having their vaccination have that thing, the pediatrician will rub a small amount of gel to numb the area where the needle will penetrate, that gel is “anesthesia” . What I’m trying to say is the general misconception that anesthetic drug is dangerous ..let’s just leave that to experts, in this case to the veterinarians. It’s unfair to criticize Jae’s sis for doing this and that.
here we go again…
Jiji-sama – why cut hair? not so cute anymore..like he’s going to cat military huhu…
Pls don’t do it my Leo …i’ll cry…
I disapprove of anything unnatural done to animals. They were created as they are, with capabilities to adapt to weather changes, climate, etc. And it’s not nice to label others expressing their opinion something like KIA… I see this just when I decide to go back and drop by… >.>
And I shall once more walk away…
