Bathing cats---wat do i do?SEAFA GOT IN THE BATH!!!

[smokey the elder]

What is it about wet cats??

[Randy_K]

The few cats I have bathed seem to be OK with it (kind of) so long as their face doesn't get wet. Keeping their face dry seems to be necessary!

A Little Warm Water is certainly not going to Hurt Kansas and Seafa.
The Porch Cats sadly have been rained on Many Times.
They dont like the experience,but they are all right afterwards.

I don think my two ahve even experienced rain. my Dad always says they will come in if it bothers them, but i go and get them anyway.

One of my rescues from years back "Buddy" loves to get in the shower and get all spruced up, and then blow dried according to his meowmie lol! But generally most cats hate it, and it's really not necessary if they groom themselves....which almost all do. If your kitty really likes it though, just make sure water doesn't get into the ears, and that he's kept warm till he's dried off.

I would seriously suggest you have someone else with you if your bathing them for the first time, Im my experience the cats I've bathed at work dont like it lol but they deal with it!

If you dont want to do it yourself why not try a groomers? That way you can make sure the cat is properly groomed out and dried, But if you want to do it yourself just be calm around him while you bath him and try to avoid the spray in the cats face, try just putting some water on their tail and seein their reaction

Make you sure you can keep them warm until they are completely dry, you dont want them to get chilled.
