Whether it is a long-haired cat or a short-haired cat, the body is covered with a layer of hair. This is their coat and the first impression on people. However, we also see a lot of shaved cats when we walk 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. You don’t have to worry about hair flying all over the place during the cat shedding season;

2. It can also cool down and prevent heatstroke in summer. You don’t have to worry about cats being prone to heatstroke because of the warm weather.

3. Skin diseases in cats can be seen at a glance; if the cat has skin diseases, it is easy to treat them with medicine.

The disadvantages of shaving cats are:

1. Cat skin is in direct contact with the sun and the outside world, and without hair protection, it is prone to injury and infection;

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 the sun. In winter, if a cat is shaved, it will become more afraid of the cold and more likely to catch cold and get sick.

3. The most important thing is that cats attach great importance to their hair. When a cat has just been shaved, the cat will be unhappy and not interested in eating. That is because the cat feels that it is not beautiful after being shaved. They will not be able to accept themselves because of shaving, and feel that they are very different from their own kind and feel inferior. And this kind of inferiority complex needs the owner's touch and comfort, otherwise it will cause serious harm to the cat's psychology.
