CATDOLL : Summer cat care: Be careful when shaving, and there are some tips for caring for your cat

As summer heats up, parents with furry pets begin to worry about their pets' comfort, especially their thick fur. People can't help but wonder: How do they survive the hot summer? Many parents consider shaving their cats out of love and to reduce the trouble of cleaning their fur. However, there are many things to pay attention to behind this action.

Cats, these little guys with independent souls, have a deep affection for their own hair. They not only rely on hair to regulate body temperature, but also express themselves through hair. Especially for male cats, hair is the source of their self-confidence. Therefore, forcing a cat who is unwilling to shave his hair may trigger a stress response and harm his mental health.

More importantly, the skin of a shaved cat becomes extremely fragile and vulnerable to external damage, such as ultraviolet rays, sharp objects, and accidental injuries from companions. In addition, without the protection of hair, cats may reduce social activities due to inferiority complex, affecting their mental health.

Of course, in special cases, such as severe skin diseases or tangled hair, shaving is a necessary treatment. But even so, you need to follow professional guidance, pay attention to calming the cat's emotions, and avoid excessive fright.

For parents who are trying to shave their cats for the first time, it is recommended to seek help from professional pet groomers. They are not only skilled, but also can better understand the cat's temperament and reduce discomfort and resistance during shaving.

For cats that have been shaved, owners need to pay extra attention to their living environment, keep it clean, adjust the temperature appropriately, and avoid infection or other health problems. Remember, shaving is not the only way to cool down in the summer. Keeping the room cool and providing sufficient water and shade can also help cats spend the summer comfortably.

In short, caring for cats requires carefulness and patience. Please think twice before shaving to ensure that you respect the cat's wishes while giving them the most caring care.
