What should I pay attention to when bathing a cat?

It is not easy to bathe cats, because most cats are afraid of water, but there must be an adaptation process anyway. Some cats who used to take a bath when they were children will also like to take a bath when they grow up. Let's talk about the precautions and steps for bathing cats.

One, seven notes

1. Don't let the kitten have a negative impression of water and bathing before taking a bath for the first time in her life, such as throwing water at it in a prank and making it feel scared.

2. There is a cat that hates taking a bath. Don't let the cat see that tragic scene!

3. The sooner a kitten comes into contact with water, the less she will reject taking a bath, so she can start taking a bath when she is about two months old, at least after the full moon.

It's time to take a bath for the first time in my life! Please note that the room temperature should be warm, put shallow, warm and comfortable water, let the kitten bubble its feet, and then start when you get used to it.

5. Comfort and talk to the kitten. Whether scrubbing or washing, the movements should be gentle, so as not to irritate the eyes and choke the nose.

6. In a word, before taking a bath for the first time, the owner had better deduce the program, taking gentleness and quickness as the criterion, so that the kitten can have a pleasant experience, at least it won't feel threatened.

7. Trim the cat's nails before washing. The owner can put on clean gloves to prevent scratches, close the bathroom door, and keep the cat in the bathtub, bucket and corner to avoid running around.

Second, ten steps

1. First comb the cat hair flat and open the knot.

2. Adjust the bath water to a proper temperature, about 37~38 degrees Celsius.

In order to make the cat adapt to the temperature of water, it is necessary to start washing from the feet.

4. The washing sequence needs to get wet from the neck down.

5. Pour a proper amount of shampoo on the cat and rub it carefully to ensure that the hair of the whole body is thoroughly cleaned.

6. Rinse the foam with warm water.

7. Wrap the cat in a clean towel and dry it.

8. Dry the cat with a hair dryer, and remember that the temperature of the hair dryer should not be too high.

9. After drying, please remember to comb the cat hair.

10. The dirt in the cat's ears and eyes should also be cleaned up.

Special note: Bath liquid should be special. There are various options. We can make different choices according to the needs of cats. If it's too much trouble, we can also use a multi-effect shampoo and shower gel.
