Cats are naturally very hairy creatures and come with a lot of fur so it is normal for cats fur to be left without any cuts, but in some cases with long haired cats it is quite good to give them a hair cut once in a while to avoid matting.

Some owners like to have their cats shaved every month because the fur can get very easily matted and once a cats fur gets matted it is very, very hard to brush out.
