My cat was shaved for mats. How to care for her in an AC room?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | spayed | 4 years and 5 months old

I got my cat fully shaved today cuz of her knots on her whole body. I want to ask can I keep her in air-conditioned room? How do I take care of her now that she doesn't have any fur on body? Please guide me.

Yes, it's fine to keep Bella in an air-conditioned room. You may want to leave out a blanket she can curl up in just in case she gets cold. You can also considered getting her a cat sweater to wear to keep her warm. I have a Persian cat as well, and I have to shave him because of his mats. I have a sweater for him to wear after that for a few weeks until his fur is a bit longer so that he doesn't get cold. Check a local pet store or the internet for sweaters for cats. I actually use a toy breed sized dog sweater, which fits my cat perfectly. I hope this helps :-)
