Hi all,
Singa was spayed sometime about 4 weeks ago. Of course they shaved her belly. But after the wound got infected the vet wraped a selfadhesive bandage around her (of course covering the wound with some cotton or something). After a week I was to take the bandage off. When I did this I saw that all her fur was full of the sticky stuff.
Since I didn't want her to groom her sticky fir I cut off the gluey part. Well of course it doesn't look too pretty, so I was wondering how long it will take for her coat to look normal again???
Does anyone know how long it takes for cat hair to grow???

Thanks in advance for your answers

If she's a long hair it would take longer to grow back to the rest of the coat. I think it depends somewhat on the time its done and the shedding/growth season. She may not have even fur till fall if its a big difference.

Ling got spayed in February and her belly fur took about a month or so to grow back.
