When cat getting a bath, both the owner and the cat are interpreting “risk their lives”. Today, I’d like to tell you how I give my cat a bath and I hope it will be helpful for you.
As we know, most cats are very resistant to bath. In fact, cats do not need to bathe frequently.
Cats are an animal that pays great attention to their own hygiene, so don't bathe them too frequently, especially in cold days. In the general, it’s enough to bath your cat once every two months.
#Preparation before giving your cat a bath at home#
1. Combing
Combing cat’s hair can keep it relaxed and comfortable, and it can also prevent the hair from getting knotted and difficult to comb after getting wet.
2. Play
Before having a bath, it’s recommended to play with the cat for a while to relax it.
3. Pet shower gel
Cat's skin is neutral, but people use alkaline shower gels, so our body wash and shampoo are not suitable for cats.
4. Water temperature
The temperature of the cat’s bath water should be comparable to their body temperature, but the bath water can be slightly warmer in winter.
5. Your dress
It’s recommended to wear long sleeves (this is to protect you and prevent the cat from scratching you). It’s possible that your clothes will get wet during the bath, so... be prepared.
#Steps to bathe your cat#
Step1 - Don't start bathing as soon as you enter the bathroom. It’s better to touch the cat first, soothe its emotions, and wait for it to calm down before taking a bath.
Step2 - In the principle, do not splash a lot of water or splash water on cat's face.
Step3 - Let the cat's limbs come into the water first, and prevent water from entering its ears and eyes when washing its head.
Step4 - In order to ease the cat's state, it is best to start bathing it from the body. The reasonable order is from the back, the sides of the body, the belly, the neck, the bottom and the tail, the limbs.
Step5 - Pay attention to cleaning cat’s tail, because it’s easy to get dirty.
#Tips#
If your cat is scared and crawls on you, please try not to push it away! It shows that the cat trusts you very much and needs your protection while it is in danger. If you push it away, it will become more nervous and scared. The best way is to hug and comfort it, just be patient and gentle to it.
Finally, when you bathing the cat in cold and humid day, you must keep it warm and blow it dry in time to prevent your cat from catching a cold.
Every owner who dares to bathe their cat can be called a "hero", good luck!
