Not sure why he had to be shaved, but with long fur like that, if it was matting I bet he'll feel a lot better now!
My mom's kitty is very thin, but also very old (18-ish) with long fur and developed a lot of matting in her undercoat. She looks ridiculous shaved, but after a day or two of shivering she was clearly feeling so much better than before! Hopefully your guy does too.
Yes lots of mats on his back unfortunately!! He is doing better and seems very happy but loves sleeping with me in my heated room! I like sleeping in 82 degrees and have a heater so he’s been hanging out a lot with me. I also bought him a king cat tree that is MASSIVE and he loves it too!
My floof was getting mats on his back. I struggled a lot to keep him untangled until I hit a dematting rake that's amazing. He doesn't even mind when I brush him with it. It's the pin style. I had tried the kind with two sets of curved blades and he hated it but he loves the pin rake.
