[QUOTE="Morbidity, post: 981456, member: 10577"] Also recommend Advantage, but as someone who has frequently bathed cats I will give you the following tips. 1. Wash them in a bucket not in a sink ... they feel more secure in a bucket 2. Don't let them hear the sound of running water. Best idea is to have 2 buckets and a jug or something to pour water from. Stand the cat in one bucket on it’s hind legs, pour water over the cat with the jug (filled with water from the second bucket), soap the cat up, then pour more water over the cat to wash the suds off. Alternatively if you’ve got one of those detachable shower heads they work very well at wetting the cat down and rinsing it off without overly disturbing the cat. 3. Don’t use household soap or shampoo (baby shampoo probably okay), but best to use special pet/cat soap/shampoo. I imagine each of your cats spent the next 3 hours licking their fur … the stuff in our soap/shampoo isn’t good for the kitties to eat. Also the pet shampoo usually has stuff in it which kills fleas … you can actually see the dead fleas in the water after you’ve finished bathing the cat. 4. Don’t bathe the cats on your own. Get someone who you trust to hold with a hand under each front shoulder. Basically you want to put your fingers under the shoulder and your thumb on top, so the cat can’t use it’s front paws to lash out at anyone. The trust element is important because cats are amazingly strong and you’ve got to be sure that the person holding the cat is not going to let go the moment the cat puts some energy into trying to move their paws … you can get really badly scratched if they do let the cat’s paw go. 5. If the cat is long-haired, you’ll probably need to blow-dry them as well or they could catch cold. The key to blow drying them is to put a towel over their head …. Cats are usually okay with the process as long as hot air is never blasted onto their head. [/QUOTE]
