Shaving your cat's hair will not in itself cause your cat's death. However, shaving can have some negative effects on your cat's health and comfort, especially under certain circumstances.
1. Temperature regulation problem: A cat’s hair helps regulate its body temperature and maintain its comfort in different environmental temperatures. Shaving may cause your cat to be unable to regulate its body temperature effectively in cold or hot environments, which may have consequences for its health.
2. Sun exposure and ultraviolet rays: Cat’s hair can provide a certain amount of sun protection and protection, helping to protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. Shaving may make your cat's skin more susceptible to sun and UV rays.
3. Skin problems: Shaving can expose your cat’s skin, making it more susceptible to scratches, infections, or other skin problems.
While shaving itself will not kill your cat, skin trauma, overshaving, or other injuries can result if improper tools or techniques are used during the shaving process. In addition, cats may feel uncomfortable or nervous during the shaving process, which may lead to psychological stress.
Therefore, if you are considering shaving your cat, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian or professional pet groomer.
