I thought about the idea of trimming chin fur, too. Tiffany--I don't think it's from not having the money to run an AC, it was just another way of making sure they're cool. Like a granite slab, it would just complement the AC. I concluded that it would be too risky for me to try (I wouldn't even know where to begin to figure out how I'd do it), I didn't know how it would affect Chloe (if she would start chewing her fur or something), as the fur is really a form of protection for them, it may leave her more susceptible to things getting on her skin, like fleas and it wouldn't decrease the density of the fur, just the length so I'm not sure it would even help with body temperature.
