Mane & Tail Shampoo is made of a very harsh detergent that is for coarse hair. It will be to harsh for your kitties skin and will most likely cause dry spot called Hot Spots by Vet's. Thus requiring additional monies in vet bills to treat the hot spot. Dawn is siad to be the best thing over the counter to wash kitties in. You may also try Ivory Laundry detergent. We used it in the good ole days for our baby clothes becuase it is so mind and does not irriate the delicate skin. Good Luck!
