What cat owners should know about bathing cats
Cats are very clean animals, and they have the habit of licking their fur and cleaning themselves. But for cat owners, it is far from enough to just let the domestic kitten lick its fur. After a long time, the cat will still get dirty. How should you bathe the cat?
1. When can a cat start taking a bath?
It is not recommended to bathe cats from birth to weaning. You need to wait until the cat is over 60 days old.
Feed the baby for 1-2 weeks before vaccinating against infectious diseases, and only bathe the baby after it is fully healthy and has been vaccinated against infectious diseases.
2. How to reduce dog body odor
In summer, it can be once a month;
In spring, autumn and winter, you can wash it once every three months;
The frequency of bathing is not fixed. The owner can also decide the frequency of bathing the cat based on the cat's naughtiness and the degree of hair pollution.
Of course, when choosing a bath liquid, it is recommended to choose a natural, non-irritating pet bath liquid with deodorizing and anti-itching functions.
3. How to bathe your cat for the first time
1. Put the cat aside first, turn on the tap at a distance from it, and take measures to prevent the cat from running around and scratching;
2. Let the cat get used to the sound of water, and then slowly take the cat to the faucet;
3. Wet the paws first to see the cat's reaction, then wet the legs, back and tail, and finally the head;
4. Use pet-specific shower gel to clean the excess oil on the cat's body, mainly on the chin, tail and lower abdomen;
5. You can also use this method to slowly adapt to using a hair dryer.
4. Cats may experience stress reactions after bathing
Symptoms: struggling desperately, running around, panicking, going crazy, etc. Some may experience depression, loss of appetite, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. after washing. Severe stress may cause sudden death.
Solution: The owner should spend more time to comfort the cat. You can feed the cat some snacks or use toys to make the cat happy to relieve the stress response.
When bathing a cat, pay attention to whether the cat is adapting. If the cat is too resistant, it is recommended not to bathe the cat first. You can use pet wipes to temporarily clean the cat's hair. If the cat has a strong stress reaction, you must immediately see a doctor or consult a veterinarian.
