    Default The Best Time To Shave Pussy.

    I caught my cat panting today which made me realize summer here will be HORRIBLE for my fuzzy children. Summer's not for a couple months, but it IS warming up. What's the best time to give my kitty a lion cut for Aussie summer but still be warm at night until then?

    Totally up to you however my flatmate's medium haired cat (you can see pictures at www.goldcoastgirl.com) won't get a lion cut. He's "survived" far more summers here than your cat will So.. I don't see the need unless the cat really does over-heat? Do you have a/c at your place? Do you have particular parts of the house that are cooler than others (even now)? Any places that don't get alot of sun?

    I ask these questions as these will be its new favourite places in summer or at least you should allow him access to such places.

    My flatmate's cat loves any tiled areas since they are cooler in summer. He's given plenty of water which is kept in shady areas so it doesn't get too warm (even thru room tempretature heating it up not the sun). Doesn't lie in the sun etc. As you'll see by the pictures... he's black (or rather a really dark chocolate brown) so he gets hot easily.

    I would only recommend a lion cut if the cat really "suffers" in the heat as well as being a mass of tangles due to lack of washing/maintenance by the cat itself (not just the "staff"). Cats have hair for a reason. Getting rid of it could cause more trouble than its worth if you don't really need to do it.

    EDIT TO ADD: If the cat gets hot, pour some water on it. It will naturally wash itself (hopefully) and that will help cool it down... as far as I'm aware. We do that for my flatmate's cat. It helps.

    My cats are very long haired.. Wait, you've seen them! There's cool tile and plenty of air con. She was outside when I caught her panting.. In the sunlight, of course. I just figured summer would be worse. I've been peeling sticks and leaves and 'other' out of my cat's butt fur lately, so a trim might be handy shortly. My cats are Aussies, so they know better than I do about summer.

    ^ I wouldn't worry about it. Cats and dogs like to go out and lay on blacktop during a heat wave...I have no idea why. But, heat/cold just doesn't bother cats like it does us.

    Are you sure cats pant for the same reason dogs do? The only time I have seen my long haired cat pant is when we have moved into a new house and he was stressed over riding in the truck and being freaked out about being in a new house.

    We had our long haired cat shaved this past spring. It was the funniest sight I have ever seen. We laughed at the poor cat everytime we seen her or thought about it for close to a month. Looked like a giant squirrell loose in the house. On the plus side, no trouble with shedding or hair balls...... She has now grown out and I think I am going to do it again. hehehe

    we used to just hop in the shower, and hold the cat in there till it was soaked. she hated water, but somehow knew it was better being cool and wet, then being yucky and hot. after that,shed just let in the shade outside and dry off.

    i think shaving your cats hair is a lil drastic

    So throw my cat in the shower, got it.

    I still think I'll have my cats butt trimmed. Nothing like pulling dingleberries off a cat's ass twice a day.

    If you to trim you cat I would advise doing so thru a vet. This is because cats use their furr to control their body temperature. Shaving it all off could make the cat very sick. If your cat does have a lot of hair around the bung hole you could probably trim that a little by yourself.
    The shower is a good trick. The cat may not be happy with it but they will be cooler. I live in Texas right now and I do that with my outdoor cat. I also make sure to put plenty of ice cubes in her water throught the day.

    Yeah, I tried bathing her and got an armful of scratches for my trouble! Kitty liked ice cubes and her own fan. Diva.

    just make sure you can't see their skin, or take them to a professional groomer to get all the undercoat trimmed out (there's a way to do that.) Otherwise you're putting them at a risk for cancer from the sun (but if they're out of the sun most of the day, probably not a problem.) Also more of a risk if your cat has a pink or white nose.

    I was definitely not planning to trim them myself! Cancer is a huge issue in Brisbane. Number one place to get skin cancer in the world, actually. But yes, they're either indoors or hiding under the deck.

    what kind of long-haired pussies are they?

    i have a birman (fine long hair) - she lives in Briz too. she mostly goes to a dark corner under the bed. i toyed with shaving her but thought she would give me daggers for the rest of the season.

    she is an indoor puss tho'.

    she grew out of her dingles, mostly, but still has the occasional cling-on. worst place to find a dried up dingle is next to your computer! sigh.

    cats.

    shave 'em.

    Don't you guys have Air Conditioning??? My cats never get hot and I just don't see why yours do. I'm lost and I think its mean to cut a cats hair. Do what you want but I would do what was said and call a vet first or at lease read up on it.

    Air conditioning costs two dollars an hour in Aussie summer. Also, I AM reading about it AND I've already said multiple times I plan on getting my vet to do it.
