My boys are a pair of bonded Foster Fail adult cats, one is full Maine Coon, the other is a black fluffy Maine Coon mix. They’re both disabled, full MC has a hip glitch, and the other was unadoptably shy when he arrived (much better now)
The guy with the hip glitch can’t groom himself as well as he’d like and he smells after a few weeks. He’s been to the groomers, but to be honest, my very calming son does a better job by just getting in the shower with him in a swimsuit. The other cat isn’t the brightest guy and wants a bath because his brother got one. Although it’s not their favorite experience, neither of them seem traumatized, and they both hang with us after the bath is done (so they don’t hate us). I also do their claws after the bath since they seem a little more willing then.
My question is what shampoo to use? It needs to get the Maine Coon Smell out, but not wreck up their skin. I’ve used Trader Joe’s Spa Shampoo and TJs Tea Tree Shampoo. But should I be using something else? Any other tips are welcome.
