I just got my 1st cat and want to do the right things.
-
Welders gloves up to your elbows!
-
my cat loves water ahahahahah.
-
"Adopt a calm, positive attitude before and during the bath it will help ease your cat's anxiety." Yeah right! Bathing my cat is like trying to bath a spinning ball of barbed wire.
-
Thanks, this was really helpful!
-
my cat sooo afraid of water...
-
Something tells me you had experience with this. Does getting the cat really drunk help?
-
a good pair of plyers may be used to pull back out the embedded claws from your flesh, anticeptic should be kept on hand as well as surgical thread to sew up your wounds.
-
I've found a portable shower hose works...makes them feel less like you are trying to drown them...
-
be very careful and have medical insurance.
-
Yea, he ended up doing really well, he's all soft and fuzzy now (=
-
I was gonna say, most cats, esp if theyre young dont mind water, as long as your above them in the tub they do good. Its the older cats that have never had a bath that you gotta worry about lol
-
My sister knows about this.
-
Lmao! A regular squirt gun wouldn't suffice?
-
lol, I got a super soaker for when he tries to jump up on the counter.
-
Oh. That sucks. I've never even tried to give a cat a bath unless spraying em with the hose counts lol!
-
yea, had hime for like 5 months now but he's got fleas now )=
-
Lol you got a cat?
-
Oh gosh, not looking forward to this!

I occasionally give my cats a bath. Perhaps your tips will work better than mine, since I am usually clawed. Maybe the cat senses my anxiety.

After you dry the cat and brush the fur, go back to the bathrooms medicine cabinet, get out some peroxide and cotton balls(may need gauze and band aids). Perform first-aid on yourself from kitty claw happening:). That's the part that was left out... step 13.

We just bathed our new kitten for the first time - first time to have a cat and first time to bathe one...she did really well using this method - she held onto the faucet the entire time. The tip about trimming her nails first made it a breeze - we used people nail clippers, and it was no problem - my mom distracted her with a Christmas bow and she barely realized what was going on. Good luck everyone!

I have a small kitten. When i got her she had lots of fleas. I couldn't find a product that was for her age or weight. I was told to wash her in Dawn dishwash but be careful around her eyes. This works great and it kills fleas as you are washing the kitten. The only thing is the fleas will run to there head and i just take a pair of trezzers and gently pick them off. I hope for the best for all you kitten and cat lovers out there. I am one of you. eyes. .
