My cat was spayed back in April and her belly fur has all grown back beautifully. However, the fur on her underbelly is really long and I was wondering if it should be trimmed off a bit. It looks like as if she has a chunk of fur down there which is unsightly but doesn't seem to bother her much. So, if it's only for cosmetic reason, should it be done or should I just let her bask in her natural glory?

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

The underbelly should not be shaved. It should be combed to prevent any tangles/knots forming. The belly fur is fine and can easily get tangles in it. Make it part of the normal grooming routine.
Thanks a lot! I'll make sure to pay extra attention to her belly. She has the softest fur and it really wouldn't want to trim it.
