Hi everyone! I am still happy as a clam(where that expression ever came from,I have no idea?!) that I am back again to my FAVORITE place on the net PT!! Now that I have collected myself,:o , I need some advice about giving cats baths.
I have never given Sammy or Romeo a real bath before.
The first day I brought Sammy home, he decided to roll in his litter box, after he took a poop:eek: , so of course I immediatley took him to the sink, where I hosed him down,lathered him up, and he was nice and clean.which was better anyway, because he was Very STINKY when he came home with me.
Romeo never had water poured on him, he just would get wiped down with those kitty bath wipes,or I would just hosedown his backside under the water,when he was sick. (I mean the kitchen faucet sprayer, when I say "hosed down!") lol
I am sure it would be good for them to have a nice bath, but I worry about them getting a chill, or scratching my face off or something. On the other hand, I'm sure it would be good for their skin, and coat! Should I get real cat shampoo, or use mine?
I would appreciate any advice. Thanks!!
BTW, I am keeping this thread on the down-low, I am sure Sammy &Romeo would freak-out if they knew what I was asking about!!:p ;)
