For anyone with a short-haired cat

We recently shaved our cat. This is a before and after picture of her. She had a lot of mats on her back and butt. I always heard that it was cruel to shave down cats, but she absolutely LOVES it! After bringing her back from the professional groomers, she's running around, playing with toys she's never played with before, strutting around like a gangster. I would definitely recommend it!
