Cat Hairstyles: The 10 Best Styles for Your Cat

How cool is your cat? Could it be cooler? Are you worried that it's not getting enough attention from your friends, neighbors, or other cats in the area? Real problems require real solutions. But wait, you don't need to dress it up in funny hats or put tiny sunglasses on its unimpressed face. Maybe it just needs a little makeover – a new style. A new and cool haircut. You can, of course, be creative and come up with a new and unique style yourself. Perhaps one that resembles your own haircut? Or you can let your creative brain rest and get inspiration from our guide to the 10 best hairstyles that will give your cat a fresh and cool style. Yep, we really put one together. You're welcome.

The Proud Pack Leader

Let your little monster live out its Saharan heritage with this lion-inspired hairstyle. Not only is it super sophisticated, but it also helps your cat stop shedding. No more hairballs, tangles, or matted fur. Just pure and unspoiled lion-cat. To achieve this roaring cool hairstyle, shave your cat's body, legs, and tail, but leave a tuft on the tip of the tail. Also, leave a large mane around the head and neck that extends down to its front legs. Then you're done. Your cat is a full-fledged lion that would easily fit in a role in The Lion King!

The Smoking Dragon

Make sure your cat is ready for Halloween by styling it into a dragon. You don't need to bother with a costume. Wash it with Skin & Coat Shampoo, dry it, and start clipping. Just like "The Proud Pack Leader," this hairstyle begins by shaving your cat's body, but leave fur along the spine. Shave the legs as above and also leave a mane around the neck and head. Then comes the tricky part; cutting the fur along the spine into triangles with a straight side towards the tail. Do this along the entire spine and tail. Just hope it stays still long enough for you to finish cutting. Then you can just sit back and admire your new pet dragon!

The Velvet Dream

Give your furry friend an aerodynamic and cool look with this hairstyle. The fur easily gets a velvety sheen, and you also reduce shedding and hairballs! Simply shave the entire body with a trimmer that leaves the fur about 1 cm long and maintain the same setting over the entire coat. When you run your hand over your cat, it will feel like a luxurious velvet cushion. The other cats will be so jealous!

The Corkscrew

Your cat will be the talk of the town with this spiral hairstyle. Leave the tip of the tail and shave around the body and up, leaving a spiral of fur that goes around the body and up the tail. Make sure the spiral opens up as you approach the face and neck. Et voila, your cat is now a corkscrew. This hairstyle is definitely more about style than functionality. But what a style it is!

The Egoist

Do you ever get the impression that your cat thinks it's better than everyone else? Give it a style that matches its self-image with this big-headed hairstyle. It's actually quite simple. All you need to do is shave the entire body, legs, and tail. But leave the fur on the head and try to get as much volume as possible. Really fluff up the fur on the head. And now your cat will have a head as big as its ego. Wonderful!

Ugg Boots Ultra Deluxe

Nothing beats the warm and cozy feeling of snuggling your feet into a pair of Ugg boots in winter. Why not give your cat the same experience? Or at least the same style. Shave the entire body, and when you get to the legs, stop just above the shins. Now your cat will look like it's wearing little warm Ugg boots on its paws. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a very cute style.

The Punk

Does your cat hate authority? Do you suspect your cat is plotting to crush the system and capitalism when your back is turned? Well, then this is a style perfect for your little anarchist kitty. Shave the entire body but leave a thick strip of fur along the spine. Once you've done this, hold up the fur strip with your fingers and shave notches in it. Then stand each section up in a spike. Marvel at your little punk rocker!

The Fur Ball

This one is simple. Let your cat's fur grow out and trim it around the head and face in the shape of a ball. Shampoo, condition, and brush the fur. Your cat is now a fur ball. And, probably, a nightmare to clean up after!

The Prime Minister

This style is best suited for cats who have the final say in the household. Let the fur on top of the head grow out while keeping the rest of the body short and well-trimmed. When the head fur is long enough, comb it into a side part. Maybe match it with a small collar and tie. And there you have it. Simple but authoritative.

The Professional

Alternatively, put away the trimmer and take your cat to a professional groomer. They will be able to guide you through an entire arsenal of coat styles and cat hairstyles, and advise you on what is best from a functional point of view. And you won't have to clean up afterward. What a bonus!
