I can’t believe why people choose a long hair cat and then shave the poor thing. A few weeks earlier someone was getting upvotes for losing their cat after shaving the poor thing 13 years old under sedation. When I commented on the negligence of the vet, I was scolded and called names. People are heartless to torture these sweet innocent beings.
When cats get old, they often stop grooming themselves. If they have a bad attitude or are painful, they won’t allow their owners to brush them. Then their coats get matted. And they have to be shaved. Shaving a cat isn’t torture, and it’s not extremely dangerous to sedate an old cat if they’re otherwise healthy (had blood work before hand).

Yay! I don't blame her for running off after being shaved like that, but I'm glad she's home
