Manual shaving of cats is to help cats keep their hair neat and healthy. Cats have the ability to clean themselves, but as they age or undergo physiological changes, they may not be able to keep their fur clean and tidy on their own. Manual shaving can help cats remove dead hair, eliminate hair knots, promote new hair growth, keep the skin healthy, and reduce digestive problems caused by cats swallowing their own hair. Generally speaking, it is recommended to shave once a week for long-haired cats, and once a month for short-haired cats.
However, each cat's hair growth is different, so it is recommended to consult a professional veterinarian or pet groomer according to the cat's condition. Develop an appropriate shaving plan for each situation. When shaving, you should use professional shaving tools, such as razors, shaving combs, shaving gloves, etc. Care should be taken to keep tools clean and sharp, and cats should be treated gently without ignoring their feelings. If you are not familiar with how to shave properly, it is recommended to consult a professional or search for relevant information online to avoid unnecessary harm to your cat.
