How to bathe a cat

In fact, most cats do not need to bathe. Because cats are very good at self-grooming, this is their instinct. But if your cat is sometimes too dirty and smelly, and he can't clean it thoroughly, then we need to bathe the cat. This article will tell you a few points to note when bathing your cat.

 

1. Preparation before bathing

After the cat has eaten or played, it is a good time to bathe the cat. Put all the supplies needed to bathe the cat in ready. If possible, cut off the cat’s nails by the way.

2. Choose warm water for bathing

Fill the sink with warm water. Do not use running water to bathe the cat as much as possible. Because the flowing water makes noise, it can cause the cat to panic. Wet the dirty area of ​​the cat and then lather with shampoo.

3. Rinse with pet shower gel

You should use pet shower gel to rinse off shampoo. Because pet shower gel will not wash away the cat’s natural oils and dry out his skin. After rinsing thoroughly, wrap her in a towel and dry it vigorously.

4. Combing the hair

You can use a fine-toothed comb to remove the cat’s loose hair and help it ventilate faster. Removal of excess hair in time can reduce the production of hairballs.

 

When cleaning the cat, please be careful to avoid his face. Because most cats don't like water on their faces, it will make them very unhappy.
