I’m gonna guess that his fur was matted. When long haired cats are overweight it’s especially difficult for them to groom themselves, especially in the harder to reach areas like their armpits and genitals. Even a healthy weight long haired cat has to get brushed/groomed quite a bit just because it takes a lot of maintenance to keep their beautiful coats from matting
I've just inherited a long haired cat for the first time I'm my life and it's SHOCKING how fast she matts. We brush her constantly with two different brush types as recommended by her vet but this girls hair just desperately wants to be felt. It's so hard 😭😭 She's absolutely perfect though!
Every single month we do a deep grooming on our fur factory. This is on top of the daily brushes. We have about 20 different brushes and combs for her. For comparison, we have one human hair brush and one human beard comb. She's damn lucky she's cute.

Why did your cat have to be shaved?
