Many cat owners believe that such a procedure as haircut or shaving is simply necessary for their pet.
Such thoughts especially creep into your head if it’s a hot summer outside and there’s literally nothing to breathe in the house, just like outside.
To brighten up the life of their furry friend, owners “cool” him down, leaving only a short hedgehog instead of a thick fur coat, a lion’s mane and a tassel on the tail.
If you, convinced by similar arguments, have also already picked up the scissors, immediately put this “accessory” aside.
The thing is that cats' fur performs the function of thermoregulation not only in winter, but also in summer.
The hairs protect the pet's delicate skin from exposure to direct sunlight.
In addition, the shaving process is often stressful for the animal.
Instead, you can help your pet cope with the scorching heat by purchasing a cooling mat, providing access to water, turning on a light fan, and regularly brushing out dead undercoat.
