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!

Looks like my kitty... /a/S4g8bkZ

That looks literally identical to my cat Pudding. She’s my tuxedo cat

how is this tagged as funny ?

Her claws aren't even out, lol.
HoldOnToYourGifs
That look in the last image, lol

Cats also experience temperature differently. What may be warm enough for us may be too cold for them.
rogueghost
Holy shit thats identical to my cat!

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.

A clean pussy is a happy pussy.

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.
Davies46
I use a cup to pour the water so my cat doesn't eviscerate my forearms.
AjKaramba
Ay!
SupMelloMike
Aren't pussies self-cleaning?
sipos0
She looks like a very well behaved cat. Many would be a whirlwind of teeth and claws while being washed.
sipos0
Very cute too :)
hobobobo
Omg that looks exactly like my old cat. I miss her so much. Rip.
MrPhukett
Huh? In UK we had 12 cats over 20+ years and never once had to bath them.
Andrzhel
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?
StealthCow
A friend taught me a great way to wash a cat once... Step 1: Thoroughly clean your toilet bowl...
KentDA
Yeah, I've heard that one. Ends with "Sincerely, The Dog"
alwaysupvotefuturama
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
MrNecrophile
All these hygiene freaks downvoting because the concept of an animal evolving to clean itself thoroughly is just too much to comprehend.

My tuxido is dry clean only

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
KentDA
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.
toriapinklotus
Bums. Much easier to trim when wet.
curmudgeon91
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
curmudgeon91
From a kitten once. Swear to God, he went exorcist even scruffed, his head spun around, and he ripped my knuckle open.
curmudgeon91
And babies usually get used to baths pretty quick. Not this guy.
MerToo
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.
MerToo
he was 19 so I didn't mind helping with the coat maintenance.
Youareincorrectsir
Maybe that sink need some loveclean aswell
SS2000Ali
She just did a motor shampoo on her F150...
screamingshits
some bleach and a good scrubbing for sure
orangebicx
My cat thinks water is acid so this strategy does not work well.
nemobla
You shouldnt wash your cat anyways
SaltyInternetPirate
Use warmer water.
orangebicx
It's luke warm, he just really does not like water
ViolentlyPeaceful
Use acid then
DeflatedFootballsCantMeltBradysDreams
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
DeflatedFootballsCantMeltBradysDreams
As an alternative try just washing the head area off with a wet cloth (no soap)
yosoyunosojustsoyouknowso
That’s what I did! :-)
DeflatedFootballsCantMeltBradysDreams
Perfect, any idea how to make a cat not meow incessantly for the hour leading up to dinner?
holydiver1355
If they’re like mine just trim their claws and they’ll avoid you for hours
DeflatedFootballsCantMeltBradysDreams
Mine doesn't care about claw trimming at all. She'll go straight from hating her claw trimming right to whining for food.

if shes craving food that badly try changing to a better food
xVVitch
Spray it with water in the face and tell it to shut up, works with my cats.
DeflatedFootballsCantMeltBradysDreams
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.
dghammer
Yours or theirs?
TinaMarie16
That’s terrible!! Next time use a toilet!!
somnif
My mom's outdoor cat once decided to make a bed in a pile of pine branches we were pruning. So much sap....
KentDA
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.
dingofdong
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+
dingofdong
+ rolling around in oily puddles sometimes, and we don't want to risk him licking it off and ingesting what is presumably motor oil
IStoleALoafOfBread
I've bathed my cat when she has peed on herself...she's not smart
OldSwedishGrandma
Haha. ?
PeregrinePhalcon
You shouldn’t shit in your cats.
attofreak
*on your cats, perv
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
I’m raising 4 orphaned kittens rn and they most definitely need a bath every day but that’s cause their mom isn’t there to lick them clean
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
They dive into their wet food and just get covered!
onepicadayuntilIgorgetsadopted
I foster kittens. I'm glad someone else gets to share in my paid of daily kitten baths. Those suckers are cute as hell but just as dirty too
onepicadayuntilIgorgetsadopted
*pain
ShelbyTheDESTROYER
I mean just look at this air suckling dirty rat xD /a/UHC42SD
onepicadayuntilIgorgetsadopted
I can empathize. Oh God. The smells.
Startrance
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.
AmandaDunne
My indoor cat got out once and headed straight for a mud patch. Better to bathe your cat than risk them ingesting something toxic.
S4RPe4R
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
Andrzhel
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?
sirwolfyy
Zero reason? Hah. Some cats (though rare) don't clean theirselves, but mostly sick or old (or both) cats may not clean theirselves.
KentDA
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.
textilelover
Then your cat has never had fleas or gotten into something that would stick in their fur and be harmful for them to ingest.
KentDA
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.
xVVitch
Fleas.
alwaysupvotefuturama
There's other stuff against fleas, shampooing isn't needed.
xVVitch
In extreme cases, yes it is.
alwaysupvotefuturama
Which domestic cats hardly ever get. Rescues straight from the gutter maybe.
McFluffySundae
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
McFluffySundae
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
McFluffySundae
most part though, cats that live indoors are self-cleaning and shouldn't require baths under normal circumstances 3/3
MrNecrophile
Had 4 outdoor cats, they've never come in covered in shit and always self cleaned (w/ some help during malting though).
