Is it okay to cut a cat's hair?

My cat has long hair, and twice she has had feces caught in her hair near her anus. So I cut the hair that was around her anus so it's not so long so it won't get caught when she goes to the bathroom. Is this okay? When I cut her hair she didn't react but I am just wondering if I am causing harm to my kitten.

No - that's fine. Groomers often do a "sanity trim" around cats' and dogs' butts to prevent this. I would definitely recommend, though, that one person holds your cat while you careful trim the hair. Otherwise you might end up poking the cat with the scissors if it squirms from your grasp.

Yeah, not a problem at all, Rashida. I cut the "ruff" of long fur around my Birman's neck in summer, as it gets full of tangles and burrs, and she can't deal with it herself.

To the kids at home: don't do this without adult supervision, and don't attempt to shave the cat! LOL
