Bathing cats - suggestions needed!

[cassiesmom]

My dad and my brother are both allergic to cats. I bought a packet of Kitty Wipes (that's really what they're called) at Petsmart for Cassie. I'm with Catty1- it keeps the dander down. I've found that half a wipe does the job just fine. She doesn't like this, so I only do it when someone with allergies is going to be around her - or at "big shed" times, when I'm combing her more often or she's looking a little flaky. She smells good afterward, and the package says the Kitty Wipes contain aloe. Petco sells an unscented one, too - but I like the one that leaves her smelling a little like a baby wipe. The fragrance lasts a good couple of days afterward.

I was going to suggest the wipes, too. The idea is to cut down the dander, which contains the offending protein. If this works it'll be easier on both you and the animals!

I think the pet wipes would be best. They dlo sell anti-allergen ones.

I don't know anything about the wipes, but that sounds like it may be your best option. If you decide to actually bathe them, though, I'd HIGHLY recommend putting a cat muzzle on them. I used to bathe cats on a regular basis when I worked for a pet boarding facility/groomer. Obviously, the muzzle helps prevent biting, but it also actually calms them down. Cat muzzles cover the cats eyes and that really helps calm them.

I used nylon ones like this- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...NES88H4C11GB9G
