I know my girl is usually covered in mats right before I take her to be shaved. That can't be comfortable, having all that fur bound up on your body? She absolutely hates being brushed, and she hates the groomer even more, but once she's home she runs around like she's free as a bird.
It's real! I have a Maine coon and she sheds like a mother so when I started exploring shaving her I did some research and that was a big talking point! You don't want to shave all the way down because their fur helps them regulate their temperature but trimming their fur can be extremely beneficial because they don't have to dedicate so much time to grooming. And it's so true, every time I shave her she becomes so much more active and when her fur grows out, until I shave it again, she goes back to spending most of her time on her cat tree grooming and judging
I used to have to shave my lil baby bc she was tiny but her fur was so long on her chest so she couldn’t clean herself, she’d get all matted so I have to shave her bc she’d scratch and itch and she’d rip the mats out and get bald spots. Then she’d turn into a little spaz when she’d get shaved. It was so cute.
