preparation is key to making this
experience as stress-free as possible
for your cat firstly prepare the area
obviously a bathtub is a good place to
bathe your cat but small cats or kittens
may feel more secure if they're bathed
in a sink
you will need towels cat shampoo and a
cup or handheld showerhead for rinsing
and in some cases a suit of armor brush
your cat before washing this removes
dust and other particles plus loosens
tangles which is especially important if
you have a long-haired cat wet tangles
are much worse to comb out than dry ones
and mats
trap soapy residue next to their skin
causing irritation so it's definitely a
good idea to remove these first you can
also take this opportunity to clip your
cat's nails this way you're less likely
to get scratched and your cat will get
their nails caught which would only
increase their bath time distress I like
to play with my cats before any
stressful events such as taking them to
the vet I play with them actively to get
rid of some of their energy and then
give them a few cat treats or feed them
so they're as relaxed and content as
possible
you should also run the bath water
before you put the cat in the bath the
water should be around 4 to 6 inches
deep so it reaches the cat's underbelly
and make sure the waters not too hot and
not too cold then place the towel in the
tub this will give the castle fit to
grip on when it gets nervous ok so now
you're ready probably all we need now is
a cat closing the door to the bathroom
will prevent any escapes then place your
cat in the tub or sink while talking to
them in Subang encouraging tones you'll
more than likely have to hold your cat
at this point and if you have an extra
human available enlist their help
gently wet the cat from neck to tail
using the cup or shower head then add
the shampoo and work in the same
direction starting at the neck and then
working back remember their chest belly
legs and paws all need attention - and
you can use a damp washcloth to clean
their face now it's time to rinse and
rinse and rinse rinsing is the most
important part of the process especially
if your cat has a long coat keep rinsing
until all the soap is completely gone
any leftover residue
will irritate your caps skin after your
cat is completely annoyed I mean
completely rinsed it's time to get them
dry towel dry them from head to pour
using the towels to absorb as much water
as possible the more water you soak up
the less wet you and your surroundings
will get when your cat starts to shake
if you have a hair dryer you can set
this on the lowest temperature and use
it to speed up the drying process if it
doesn't scare your cat and remember to
have the room temperature at a
comfortable level as well the end result
should be a nice clean fluffy cat you
will now have to spend the next two
months trying to win back their
affection
