I've been feeding a stray cat in my neighbourhood which is very dirty. Her fur is very long and although she's grooming herself, she remains VERY dirty. When I say very, she is definitely in a need of bath. The problem is that the stray cat is still a bit scared, she allows me to touch her, but when she hears a sudden sound, she runs away. If I bath her normally I'm definitely going to get scratched and noticing her claws, I'll get a lot of deep scratches. So is there any way I can trap her in a shopping basket, apply soap from the holes and then gently use the garden hose to bath her? I mean, will she panic a lot and injure herself and will it cause her a traumatic experience? If not, after the bath, for how long should I leave her in the basket?((The basket has holes so there's no way she can drown)). If harms her, do you know another way to bath her without risking to get scratched ?
PS - I want to bath her because I want to move her in my enclosed space where my other two cats live. Winter has already started and in my country the rains have already begun and I'm pretty sure it'll snow and the cat will find it difficult to survive. Thanks in advance.
