What name would you give her after her spring haircut?

      No, she has no matts. I cut her fur really short and it’s just looks uneven in the picture. Trust me, I cut her fur so that she would have no matted fur at all. I double checked her fur for matts after I clipped it.

        Unless she already had mats why the fuck are you cutting a cats fur?

        At most they just need brushing.

          She gets hairballs. She also runs through the agricultural fields around us, which causes her to pick up stickers and foxtails in her fur.

            All cats get hair balls, that’s not a reason to cut their fur, it rarely grows back properly when you do.

              My veterinarian said it was fine. In the past, he offered to have his staff shave her. During summer, the weather is typically above 105 degrees Fahrenheit, too. I shaved her a little early this year, but it is really for her own good.

                Just to respond to your temperature comment, it has been down that trimming/shaving a cat’s hair can actually make it harder for them to stay cool.
