I always like a little trimmed welcome mat

Seriously......leave it trimmed!!!!!  I always like the little bit of "friction" you get from trimmed!!!!!

than a thin landing strip.

For me it's the fact that I have a daughter.  A shaved kitty reminds me of diaper changing days and that creeps me out.

is what I prefer. I like if it's  left a little longer too so it catches and keeps some aroma. Who doesn't love the smell of ----clean---- pussy.  

I'm with the above post about shaved clean making me feel weird because of my kids.

I like a lit fur. Maybe you could post a picture so we can make a more informed decision.

Now, that's a compelling position statement.

better than working my way through a full natural bush! keep it!
