Hi there,
I am bringing my longhair cats to the groomer on Friday to be shaved. Every summer, besides the crazy amount of hair in the house, those cats are constantly swallowing their own and each other's hair, so I wanted to do something about it. But I'm dreading it because Fiddlehead is so afraid of people and strange noises (buzzers). However, part of me knows it's actually best for him. His fur gets so incredibly matted every summer as soon as the littlest bit of humidity touches it.
But here's my question...will cats be freaked out when they're done being shaved and they have no hair? I know I will end up laughing my ass off because Yeti is a Maine ****, so when he has no hair, he's going to be so skinny. I was thinking of the lion cut, but then I feel bad for the cats because they really will cause so much laughter. And I don't need them shaved bald, for fear that they'll end up itching like crazy when the hair grows back (does that happen?). Anyway, has anyone has any interesting experiences having their cats groomed in this way? Thanks!
