[font= "Comic Sans MS"]Have been wanting to ask this and it keeps slipping my mind...
Do you bathe your cat(s)?
If so, how often?
What do you bathe them in?
Do you use shampoo?
If so, what kind?
How does your cat respond to the bath?
I want to bathe Zoey so that she will be comfortable with it in case she ever needs to be bathed due to medical reasons. I bathe her about once every four weeks, as I understand that her coat will become dry if I bathe her too often, and as she is small (3 months) I bathe her in the bathroom sink. The first time, it was just water. Today was the second time, and I used a high-quality shampoo we have, just on her back, tummy, and chest. I made sure and rinsed really well. Next time we're in town, I have a $1.00 coupon for Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo, and will pick that up. She seems to respond really well to her baths; well, the first was excellent. She was really still and didn't cry once or try to get out or anything! The one we had this morning... was a little rough. But what can I say, she's a cat! She cried once or twice, hissed a few times at the faucet, and scratched and struggled quite a bit for the first few minutes. Then she was pretty good except for a couple of attempted escapes. But now her coat is very, very soft and she smells really nice!
I was just curious about bathing cats...
