    Giving your cat a bath..

    Does anyone here give your cat a bath? I thought it might make Jenna's coat look shinier. Thanks!

    Oh..what kind of brush do you use on your cat?

    I don't bathe my kitties, I do brush with the shedding tool and have 2 that will come running when they see it and love to be brushed.

    Chuck just had a bath last night! LOL

    I bathe him to loosen up all the loose hair because it's so long.

    I have just a regular brush with kinda long "teeth" to get all the snarls out.

    I give my 2 cats baths. MooShoo (hairless) requires a bath a week during the summer and every 2-3 weeks in the winter.

    Don't laugh, but this is what I do:

    Fill the tub just enough to cover the botton with warm water. Hop in tub with cat facing away from me standing on a towel (so he feels secure). Use cup to wet cat down. Lather, rinse, repeat as necesary. I use Blue (and BLUE only!) Dawn, as it has the same Ph that a cat does.

    Once dry (takes all of 5 seconds) I give MooShoo treats so he recognizes it as a pleasant thing.

    I do the same thing with Mollie Rose (My oldest, 12- Tortie). The key is to work FAST. They're out and dry before they even realize they're submerged!

    Mollie Rose, you were there for me through good times and in bad, from the beginning.Your passing will leave a hole in my heart.We will be together "One Fine Day". 1994-2009
    MooShoo,you left me too soon.I wasn't ready.Know that you were my soulmate and have left me broken hearted.I loved you like no other. 1999 - 2010See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
    Maya Linn, my heart is broken. The day your beautiful blue eyes went blind was the worst day of my life.I only wish I could've done something.I'll miss your "premium" purr and our little "conversations". 1997-2013 See you again "ONE FINE DAY"
