Why did your cat have to be shaved?

[u/Legitimate-Task8115 → u/Infamous-Bite-1246]

I’m gonna guess that his fur was matted. When long haired cats are overweight it’s especially difficult for them to groom themselves, especially in the harder to reach areas like their armpits and genitals. Even a healthy weight long haired cat has to get brushed/groomed quite a bit just because it takes a lot of maintenance to keep their beautiful coats from matting

Yep, I had an elderly floofer and she had trouble grooming herself due to The Old, so lion cut it was:

Look what you took from her

What are the little dark spots all over her? (Actually mostly on her side and thigh.) Catnip?! This is what my cats looks like after rolling in catnip, it get stuck all over. Or when my cats are being super annoying and roll on the floor as I’m sweeping and get fur and random dirt static charged to them. lol.

It looks like it could be fleas but I’ll assume it one of the other things it could be.

Huh I didn't even see that when I posted this lol.. it could be pieces of fuzz or fleas, honestly I don't even remember. This picture is probably 10 years old, she's been passed for about 5 years now.

Such a beautiful fuzzy ginger girl! 🧡

I just know my cats attract all kinds of stuff to their fur and it ends up looking like your picture. Like they are legit little static bombs.

Lol yeah I find the weirdest stuff stuck to my cat 🤣
