When is it O.K. to Bath a Kitten?

My kitten's only 7 weeks tomorrow...... So when can I bath him?


Have a nice day :)

He kindda enjoyed it, he wasn't fighting and wasn't scratching, and then after his bath, I used the hair dryer, he was so still, maybe shivering. So Mission accomplished!

After I dryed him, he started playing with my daughter and I. Playing as in Jumping, SCRATCHING AND BITTING!!! Is that normal or what?

Have a good one :)

We gave Basil a bath the weekend after we got him because he was...well...really dirty! Our furkids are used to their baths and they go really quickly. The important thing to remember is to make sure you give them a bath early in the day so they have time to dry before it gets cool. Our cats lay in the sun after their baths...they don't like the hair dryer and squirm out of towels! :)

It is always funny, yet sad to bathe a cat, they hate it so much.

I started my babies with bathes when they we little. They get one with each change of seasons, Yep 4 a year, my outdoor kitty sometimes gets a few more. :rolleyes:
It's best to get them used to a dryer if you can, some cats hate the sound. But cats can catch a chill if they are wet and then exposed to chilly temps.
Another tip is never use people shampoo! find a natural cat shampoo, not only will it help keep thier coat shinny, but aids in flea free fur too!
Enjoy bathing your baby!!
