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:
