i do not. i did shave my eyebrows once though. i had bleached my hair and it bugged me that they didn’t match. but no eyebrows was such a worse look, so i wouldn’t want to do it again. plus i think i’ll need longer than a month of mourning if our cat died.
Oh interesting. Were you worried about bleaching your brows so close to your eyes?
Yes a month doesn’t seem very long.
I can’t find any more specific info on the mourning itself.
Except now I see from the same source that when their dog died, egyptians shaved off all the hair on their body. Huh.
Herodotus too, so grain of salt:
“And in whatever houses a cat has died by a natural death, all those who dwell in this house shave their eyebrows only, but those in whose houses a dog has died shave their whole body and also their head.”
