Bathing cats

i wash my 4 cats 2 at week. is very happy my cat with i wash they

Get some cat shampoo and squirt it in the toilet. Place the cat in the toilet and quickly close the lid. The cat will self-agitate. After about five minutes, flush a few times to rinse the cat. Make sure the bathroom door is open. Open the toilet lid and stay out of the way, as the cat will bolt for the bathroom door. Ok, seriously, though...I find it works well to put the cat in the kitchen sink and use the sprayer if you have one. If the cat has a collar, it really helps because you can hold onto it and the cat can't get away or scratch you too badly. Another option, if you have a shower with glass doors or a glass stall, you can just toss the cat in, turn on the water, and close the door. The cat is confined with nowhere to go but in the water. Doesn't make for a very happy cat, but you avoid getting scratched. Good luck with your kitty bathing.

What's wrong with the bathtub or the kitchen sink? As long as your home is well heated and he's towel dried the best you can do, he'll be fine. The tub may be better than the sink as you can close the door on the bathroom. Once my cat slipped out of my hands when was all soapy in the kitchen sink and went under the bed. Bad scene, lol. Cats are very fastidious and clean naturally and if you can smell him, he's probably feeling pretty dirty and disgusted with himself too.

I'm glad my cats don't get stinky on a regular basis, I'd be in trouble having to bathe 4 of them. They might cause a revolution if I start.. they run when I get the q-tips out to do their ears.. haha. I would suggest the waterless cleaners, you can get at any pet store. It worked GREAT when we first adopted our stinky stray.

There is a product that you can go buy that you do not need water for. It's kind of like a baby wipe, but it is for cats (there's some for dogs too) I've tried this before on my cat, there's a mild soapy smell from it. It's perfectly safe for them. It works for those cats that wanna claw your eyes out at the site of water. If you really want to bathe your cat though, the best thing to do is to ease them in it. A cat will freak out if you turn on the faucet near them. (at least some would) Put them the object you plan to bathe them in and gradually add more water. Maybe pour some in. That or have a short layer of water when you put them in. It may take some getting use to for a while.

okay first of all wait till summer and then get a towel and then go just pet the cat lightly once then wat 15 minutes then do it again repeat NOTE:its better to give the cat treats while bathing

We give our cat a bath about every three weeks. We do it is the bathtub. Our vet told us to make it a little warmer than we like our water because of the body temperature difference. Our cat does not like it, but we do it to keep him smelling good.
