How to wash your....

Jul 15, 2019 4:49 AM

She’s an outdoor cat so she gets so dirty sometimes.

Stahp, hooman!!

I’ll kill you all!! Lmao Edit: front page! For those of you who are worried this cat bathing, ummm we live in the woods and she rolls over nasty shit all the time. She’s both indoor and outdoor cat. She sleeps in our bed at night sometimes when she wants attention or when it’s winter. She gets some nasty stuff from the outside so we don’t want to risk it; and possible fleas too! It’s only on rare occasion that I bathe this cat. No worries, I know that you all mean well. And she was stray cat roaming around our property- no chip! So we claimed her as her our own. She’s very sweet and calm.

Dog shampoo? On a cat? You savage!

Cats also experience temperature differently. What may be warm enough for us may be too cold for them.

The secret to happy cat washing is to avoid loud noises in an already reverberating room, and to keep most of head, especially ears, dry.

The finest mist from a spray bottle sends my cat into panic. Rain has zero effect.

Cats can be weird about water. I've seen cats that will splash around in the water. So not all cats hate the water.

I use a cup to pour the water so my cat doesn't eviscerate my forearms.

She looks like a very well behaved cat. Many would be a whirlwind of teeth and claws while being washed.

Huh? In UK we had 12 cats over 20+ years and never once had to bath them.

Well, i guess you never had a cat covered in motor oil or other unnatural pollution. Do you really want a cat to ingest that by cleaning?

A friend taught me a great way to wash a cat once... Step 1: Thoroughly clean your toilet bowl...

Yeah, I've heard that one. Ends with "Sincerely, The Dog"

There are more or less only two reasons to wash your cat: a) it's covered in poisonous muck; b) it's stopped/never learned doing it

All these hygiene freaks downvoting because the concept of an animal evolving to clean itself thoroughly is just too much to comprehend.

I have to bathe my long hair kitties to get rid of some if the extra fur when they are moulting. It also helps with trimming around their

Had to do that right after I got my cat. Long haired cat, too many matted spots. A fast bath loosened it all up for easy removal.

Bums. Much easier to trim when wet.

Man, I worked rescue and this is the calmest kittt bath I have ever seen outside of longhair breeders I met as a child. I had to get stitchs

From a kitten once. Swear to God, he went exorcist even scruffed, his head spun around, and he ripped my knuckle open.

the only time in over 40 years of living with various cats that I have washed one was when he got so old he couldn't keep up with the job.

My cat thinks water is acid so this strategy does not work well.

You shouldnt wash your cat anyways

Use warmer water.

It's luke warm, he just really does not like water

Use acid then

You probably shouldn't put soap on her head. Getting water/soap in their ears is a pretty good way to give them an earache or infection. 1

As an alternative try just washing the head area off with a wet cloth (no soap)

That’s what I did! :-)

Perfect, any idea how to make a cat not meow incessantly for the hour leading up to dinner?

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

If they’re like mine just trim their claws and they’ll avoid you for hours

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Mine doesn't care about claw trimming at all. She'll go straight from hating her claw trimming right to whining for food.

Spray it with water in the face and tell it to shut up, works with my cats.

Haha I've got a spray bottle in the cupboard with the food... It just makes her circle the kitchen and meow out of range at a louder pitch

I've owned a total of five cats. Only a handful time have there been a need to bath any of them, and that have always involved diarrhea.

My current fur monster was a shelter cat. She had some matted hair when I got her. So she got a shower to loosen up the hair.

For our cats, it usually involves oily stains in their fur; we live near an automotive repair centre, and apparently one of our cats enjoys+

Have had my cat for over 5 years never ever cleaned it, cats clean themselves there is zero reason for a human to clean their cats.

My indoor cat got out once and headed straight for a mud patch. Better to bathe your cat than risk them ingesting something toxic.

Zero? Not one? Not onnnnneeee siiiingle reason to wash a cat? If a cat fell in tar... well, I’d say that’s one good reason to. Lol

Zero reason? Hah. Some cats (though rare) don't clean theirselves, but mostly sick or old (or both) cats may not clean theirselves.

Cat gets diarrhea. Time to wash the cat's butt off to remove any excess poop that stuck to fur. That's one good reason.

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Then your cat has never had fleas or gotten into something that would stick in their fur and be harmful for them to ingest.

6 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

My cat is an older cat and one time she got sick and had diarrhea. So yeah, wash the butt area to loosen up the poo for removal. Not fun.

Outside cats like this one can fall into things and get really dirty or if they are sick they may pee or poop on themselves and that 1/2

would require washing. Also the shampoo in this clip is flea and tick shampoo which requires a bath to get rid of the pests. For the 2/3
