Instructions
Before Bathing
- Before starting the bathing process, make sure you trim all the
nails of the cat. This would reduce the risk of scratching. Brush
the cat thoroughly, especially if it is longhaired before giving
bath to the cat.
- It is imperative for you to dress properly for the occasion. It
is advisable to wear a rubber wetsuit for your protection.
- Another important consideration would be to position everything
strategically in the shower, so that there is absolutely no scope
for the cat to run away.
- Once everything has been arranged, its time to get your pussy.
Pick the cat up, nonchalantly, as if you were simply carrying it for
a routine work. (Most cats hate water, so do not let your feline
know what is in store)
Bathing
- Once you are in the bathroom, speed is the quintessential. In one
single liquid motion, shut the door of the bathroom, step into the
shower, close the sliding doors, and drop the cat into the water.
- Make sure you place a rubber mat in the tub.the water content in
the tub depends on the size of the animal. However, the best bet
would be to fill it up to 4-5 inches with warm water.
- Firstly, dip a washcloth in warm water and wipe the area around
your cat's eyes. Put a few drops of mineral oil into the cat's eyes,
which will protect the eyes from soap.
- Select a good-quality cat shampoo for your cat's bath. If you
think your cat might have a few fleas, use flea shampoo. If your cat
has long hair, you can buy cat shampoo with conditioner, which will
help keep his hair from tangling.
- Get a good grip of your pet, as most of the animals want to free
themselves at the time of bath. To divert its attention from
bathing, the best bet would be to talk to your pet or give it cat
toys.
- After you've washed your cat, blot his tail and legs with a paper
towel, since these areas tend to absorb a lot of water. Then take
your cat out of the sink and wrap it in a towel.
