Is it possible to cut a cat's hair: there are only 2 cases when this procedure is allowed

Regardless of whether your cat has long or short hair, you shouldn't cut it.

Caring for the animal includes proper grooming. It is worth combing representatives of long-haired breeds at least three times a week, while short-haired ones need only one brushing.

Washing is carried out as the animal gets dirty.

There are only two cases when a cat should be trimmed.

Thus, this procedure is indicated if your pet has skin diseases, such as weeping wounds or ulcers, when it is difficult to apply medicinal ointments and products due to the fur.

In case of illness, it is worth consulting a veterinarian.

The second situation when a haircut is acceptable is the appearance of neglected tangles in the fur, which can lead to the formation of a “shell”, skin irritation and discomfort when moving.

It is logical that short-haired cats encounter the problem of tangles less often than long-haired cats.

Earlier, BelNovosti reported that many novice cat owners do it wrong.
