Both long-haired and short-haired cats are covered with a positive layer of fur, which is their coat and the first impression they make. However, we also see a lot of shaved cats on the street. Especially in summer, cats will be shaved bare by their owners. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of shaving cats?
The benefits of shaving cats are:
1. Cats don’t have to worry about the hair flying all over the sky during the shedding season;
2. In summer, they can also cool down and prevent heatstroke, so don’t worry about cats being easily affected by the warm weather Heat stroke occurs.
3. It can be seen at a glance that the cat has skin disease; if the cat has skin disease, it is convenient to take medicine for treatment.
The disadvantages of shaving cats are:
1. The cat’s skin is in direct contact with the sun and the outside world, and without hair protection, it is easy to be injured and infected;
2. In summer, without the protection of hair, cats are particularly vulnerable to mosquito bites, and exposed skin is more likely to be burned by sunlight. In winter, cats become more afraid of cold if they are shaved, and they are more likely to catch cold and get sick.
3. Most importantly, cats take their hair very seriously. When the cat just shaves, the cat will appear unhappy and does not like to eat, that is because the cat thinks that it is not beautiful after shaving. They can’t accept themselves because of shaving, and feel prepared to be very different from their own kind. And this kind of inferiority complex needs the owner’s touch and comfort, otherwise it will seriously hurt the cat’s psychology.
