Hello Everyone,
Sorry I have been away so long!! Computer problems, work and kittens. It has been crazy around here. Work and kittens I can deal with but a gumped up computer is really bad.
Ok on bathing kitties. One thing I can recommend is a very good quility shampoo such as Oatmeal base Cat shampoo. It is very gentle to skin and fur. But the main thing is to rinse, rinse, and rinse again and when you think you are done is rinse some more. For a very dirty greasy cat I would recommend Filthy Animal Shampoo by Kelco. After shampooing and all the rinses I delute white vinegar and use that as a final rinse and then rinse again till the smell is gone. Oh! I have used baby shampoo on very young kittens because it is very gentle also.
Unless you are showing I would not bath a cat more than 2 - 3 times a year unless it is a very nasty greasy coat. The moisture and oils are needed for a healthy coat. You don't want to strip the coat and damage the fur.
We won't even go into a show bath everyone would think I am crazy! I guess I am. It is nice to be back and see someone ask about me.
Well, I am going to go and read more and catch up on what I have been missing and do a little posting of my own.

P.S. I don't know if I posted it or not but Chino had a cancerous tumor on his skull that had to be removed and it was and he is doing fine. I keep praying that it will not return.

See Ya,
Stella
