I think that I'm going to keep my hair long.

I wore my hair very short when I first moved from Kenosha to Chicago (as pictured above), and generally keep it so in the summer to mitigate against the hot weather. Then, usually in October or November, I grow my hair out to puffball proportions just to keep warm. My new Chicago environment, though, is carefully climate controlled so that my hairstyle is purely aesthetic instead of functional. So, I've decided not to lose my winter fur. Well, I should rephrase, I loose bags and bags of fur every day, but I think I'll just keep the long hair growing back. Also, now that I'm a cool Chicago cat, I don't want to look like I have Kenosha soccer-mom hair. I think I'm going to enjoy having long, puffy hair year round, except for when a poop gets stuck to my butt fur unbeknownst to me, and I walk around with a dingle berry until Matt or Amber give me an assist. That's the only downside (that I can see) of constantly growing and shedding this long, luxurious fur.
