Cat skin more than 50% thinner than dog skin

Why cat groomers need to be very careful when we shave a cat . . .

Human skin: 0.5 mm to 4.0 mm *eyelids are 0.5 mm thick

Canine skin: 0.5 mm to 5.0 mm

Feline skin: 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm

So the thickest part of your cat’s skin is still only 4 times as thick as your eyelid!!

25.4 mm = 1 inch
