Many owners of long-haired cats take up scissors when they see their pet dragging its long tail along the floor or suffering from the heat, experiencing discomfort under its thick fur.
Even those who have a short-haired cat sometimes think about trimming their pet, removing protruding hairs, and small children like the idea of trimming long cat whiskers.
In fact, normally a cat does not need a haircut.
It is also not recommended to remove protruding hairs - sensory hairs help the animal to navigate in space.
The same can be said about a cat's whiskers, which perform the same function.
Even the idea of cutting a cat's tail, leaving a fluffy tuft at the end, should be brushed aside.
The fact is that such a tassel on the tail is often perceived by animals as a toy.
As a result, the cat may attack its own tail and, by biting it, harm itself.
