We're used to the heat and noise; cats aren't and it's easy to burn their skin w/o even realizing it.) Make the bath as brief as possible unless the medicated shampoo needs to stay on for a prescribed amount of minutes. When lowering him into the water, let him feel it first w/a paw so he knows what to expect as to temp., etc. And always have one hand on him while bathing him so that he feels secure. Hope this helps.
Very good advice esp. with putting a towel in the sink, I never thought about that I would always just put them in and your are right though that would help them for not hurting themselves.
