I give my 2 cats baths. MooShoo (hairless) requires a bath a week during the summer and every 2-3 weeks in the winter.

Don't laugh, but this is what I do:

Fill the tub just enough to cover the botton with warm water. Hop in tub with cat facing away from me standing on a towel (so he feels secure). Use cup to wet cat down. Lather, rinse, repeat as necesary. I use Blue (and BLUE only!) Dawn, as it has the same Ph that a cat does.

Once dry (takes all of 5 seconds) I give MooShoo treats so he recognizes it as a pleasant thing.

I do the same thing with Mollie Rose (My oldest, 12- Tortie). The key is to work FAST. They're out and dry before they even realize they're submerged!
