Drop it off the shelf!
kitty looks matted; i hope itās no causing any pain.
No, she has no matts. I cut her fur really short and itās just looks uneven in the picture. Trust me, I cut her fur so that she would have no matted fur at all. I double checked her fur for matts after I clipped it.
that explains the look of disdain. lol
my very senior void is too inflexible to groom well and also gives me a āfuck you!ā look after i bathe and groom him myself.
Unless she already had mats why the fuck are you cutting a cats fur?
At most they just need brushing.
She gets hairballs. She also runs through the agricultural fields around us, which causes her to pick up stickers and foxtails in her fur.
All cats get hair balls, thatās not a reason to cut their fur, it rarely grows back properly when you do.
My veterinarian said it was fine. In the past, he offered to have his staff shave her. During summer, the weather is typically above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, too. I shaved her a little early this year, but it is really for her own good.
It really isnāt for her own good.
If your vet told you it was OK to cut her hair unnecessarily you need to find a new vet.
She had fox tails in her fur from running around outside. Iām not going to let fox tails stay in her fur. Every time I post something, someone has to comment with an angry reply about how they know the right way to do something and how the rest of the world is wrong. Go ahead, let your own cat live with fox tails in his or her fur.
Itās not like shaving a husky. For some cats, cutting their hair is fine. Itās not recommended for all cats, but thereās nothing inherently wrong with it. Most cat breeds donāt have an undercoat like huskies that gets messed up when you shave them. I actually donāt know of one that does.
If it were just for aesthetic purposes, yeah itād not be good. But if a vet said itās fine, chances are they made sure the catās situation and health and behavior were appropriate for a haircut.
There are other ways to control hairballs, but it doesnāt seem like theyāre doing anything too drastic for the wrong reasons.
Just to respond to your temperature comment, it has been down that trimming/shaving a catās hair can actually make it harder for them to stay cool.
