Because Peter takes him gardening every day he spends hours in undergrowth & shrubbery every day & so collects a multitude of seeds, leaves, mud & general undergrowth in his fur. Peter then takes him swimming in the river to wash him off, so his fur gets completely matted! We usually manage to brush him out a good bit, but his ears had got badly matted & the ‘stylist (?)‘ said it would be best to shave his ears & start again!
He would have looked very silly with short ears & long everywhere else, so hence the last cut of the year 🙂 He normally has about 3 haircuts a year which are this short, but with his ears trimmed too he does look very shorn!
He is on the verge of looking like this again, once the temperatures start in double figures he will start being too hot all the time & will spend his time trying to find places in which to wallow. At the moment he looks more like a mop

He does not look like a Wilson but more like a Wilma! Poor fellow. Has he seen himself in a mirror?

He does a bit! He keeps looking at us as if to say; ‘can I have my fur back now please’ 🙂
