Do you give your cats baths?

[lv4dogs]

I only bath the cats when needed.

Tiki has only had 2 baths (once when I first got him, my friend & I rescued him, mom & littermates from the streets) and he was filthy & flea infested. Then again shortly after that to make sure he was clean & flea free and also to get him used to it.
Meko on the other hand has had about 5-7ish or so baths. Once when I first got her (I rescued her as well from the outdoors) then again about once a month for a few months because she used to be a real hellian and I wanted to let her know that I am boss not her, I needed her to get used to everything. Then she had 2 baths a few months ago when I had that terrible diarrhea episode with both kitties. Her long fur & liquid poop just don't mix well at all.

They are now both great cats. I can do anything I want to them & they let me, baths, nails, ears, brushing, whatever. I call them my dog-cats. lol

I used ferret shampo on them most of the times. The last time I bathed Meko though I was out, the only thing I had was dog shampoos so I used Nanooks shampoo on her as it is very mild.
