When summer comes, the time also comes when our dear friend sheds his hair. In doing so, he can leave a trace wherever he passes, and that without counting the heat that he can feel. But are those reasons enough to cut it? Can we make the summer months better by cutting her hair?

These are questions that all of us who live with a cat would have to ask ourselves, especially if we let it go outside or if we live in very hot places. So, let’s find out if you can cut a cat’s hair. Thinking that a cat with short or shaved hair will be cooler is a logical thought, but the truth is that it is not advisable to do so.

Why do not do it?

The hair of these animals acts as a thermal insulator, which slows the absorption of heat thanks to the currents and air pockets that form inside.

The coat is made up of two layers that are essential for the cat to be protected from heat. If we cut the hair excessively, we leave it without its natural protection against the sun’s rays, so if we are not careful and avoid it being in the sun for a long time, it could end up having burns.

Only if you have very long hair, as it has a tendency to tangle, you can choose to cut it a bit.

Maybe you want to keep him cool on the hottest days, or you just love a particular cut and want to see your cat look just as agile as other cats with fancy haircuts. Either way, there are a few things to consider first.

Does my cat really need a haircut?

The short answer is, probably not. However, it is a good idea to groom your cat regularly as recommended by your vet for his specific breed. Not only will it help to remove the fur, but it is a great way to bond with your cat and get him used to being handled in case he needs to bathe or care for a wound if necessary.

People cut their cats’ hair for a number of reasons: to reduce shedding, to reduce hairballs, and for health reasons. We recommend being careful when cutting your cat’s hair, they are easily scared of scissors and other tools, and it is easy to accidentally hurt them if they have not received good specific training.

How to take care of your hair in summer?

A cat’s hair needs more attention during the summer season than during the rest of the year. Due to the shedding and obsession of the furry for their personal hygiene, it is very important to take a series of measures to keep them fresh and safe.

To do this, we must do the following:

  • Brush it daily. All dead hair must be removed, as well as any knots it may have.
  • On very hot days, you can moisten a towel with cold water and leave it on the floor to lie on.
  • You have to have clean, fresh water, every day. Also, if it can be, it is good to refresh it once or twice a day by changing it again.
