Is it harmful to shave cats?

Answer 1

Shaving your cat is probably not a good way to get rid of its excess fur; your cat could get skin problems and skin infections and its gives ticks and fleas and easier way to the body. If you want to get rid of excess fur the best thing you could do is brush your cat with a wire brush if it is long hair, or a rubber or wire brush if it is short haired, and brush your cat everday; it will also give your cat love and attention. - jgurl 13

Answer 2

Yes, this is because when you shave the cat they have nothing to warm themselves with but their own body heat. Cats don't produce enough body heat to keep themselves warm causing them to freeze do death.

Answer 3

Shaving a cat can be harmful if done incorrectly or excessively, as it can disrupt their natural coat regulation and leave their skin susceptible to sunburn or injuries. Cats have a layer of fur that helps regulate their body temperature, so shaving should only be done when medically necessary and under the guidance of a veterinarian.
