Despite what others say, it's perfectly okay to bathe a kitten/cat, but every 3 or 4 days is too often. It will dry the skin and coat.

Do this occasionally, with a good shampoo. We particularly like Eqyss Premier and their rehydrant spray as well.

Whiskas is a destructive food! you may besides be feeding your kitten McDonald's for breakfast, lunch and dinner! That food incorporates meat via-products, grains, corn and fillers. YUCK! attempt switching her to a top high quality moist food which includes well-being or Innova EVO. All ingredients in those ingredients are thoroughly healthful. you will desire to in no way permit a kitten out of the homestead unsupervised. do you like a lifeless kitten? She has discharge popping out from her eye? meaning she's ill. She desires a vet. in case you had hypersensitive reactions, why did you get a cat? You shouldnt concern the cat to un-comfortability (bathing it) once you are the only with the concern. bypass on your conventional practitioner and get hypersensitive reaction drugs. in case you may't have adequate funds a vet, why did you get a cat? What if there is an emergency? I dont advise to be rude to you, i'm only pointing out the actuality. there have been lots of issues which you didnt evaluate here. you may desire to be to blame and look after her. She can't rigidity herself to the vet whilst she's ill. you may desire to try this for her. "i might love some counsel on a thank you to maintain her happy and healthful, because it quite is quite the 1st kitten i've got had." How do you assume to maintain her happy and healthful if she's ill and you wont get her scientific care? i'd desire to think of that being a depressing feeling on your kitten.

I would have to say NO for two reasons...1) by bathing your kitten you are actually striping his protective oils off his body. Cats don't just lick themselves to get hairballs, they spend a lot of time grooming to clean themselves and spread all that oil over they're body's. 2) all that shampoo and kitty cleaner will eventually cause dry and flaking skin which can and will turn into some problems for you. Once every 4 weeks is plenty, if at all. hope this helped.

We bath our cat every 3-4 months with Cat Shampoo. We've been doing it for years and he's been okay. The vet told us to put down a towel or mat in the shower for him to grip onto so he's more comfortable. But i'd double check with your vet and make sure you are using the correct shampoo since the kitten will just turn around and lick itself, which inturn could make the kitten ill.

This is excessive cat bathing - - unless your kitten is soiling herself and not cleaning herself adequately after using the litter box.

Consider only washing her bottom (if that's the problem) or her feet if they are smelly. Overwashing a kitten can lead to cat colds, pnenmonia, general malaise if you do not properly dry and 'baby' your kitten after washing. Also, be sure you are using a gentle soap "baby shampoo" and not scrubbing her skin too hard -- you can dry out her skin and cause cat dandruff.

Overall, unless there is a severe problem (like diarrhea) I'd suggest you switch to baby wipes and give your kitten a chance at learning how to groom itself.

Good Luck!!

Unless you are showing or competing professionally or have a bad flea and tick problem, I don't recommend you bath your kitten at all. I use Frontline Plus on both my cats and dog once a month and a cat naturally cleans itself every day. They are verrrrry clean animals. If your kitten is not licking or cleaning itself and it looks dirty or unclean I would seek a veterinarians help, for your kitten may be ill. Good Luck!

That is too often. But yes you can bathe cats. When I first got my kittens I gave them a bath once a week to get them use to them. Now that they are older once every couple of months. You can also get moistened bath wipes to use instead of bathing.

Excessive! No need to bathe kittens or cats this much. Kittens and cats are very clean. Once a month flea bath might be OK, if you notice fleas. Otherwise they will groom themselves.

Please don't. Kitties learn to groom themselves from adult cats. At first they can be a bit stinky because they are learning about litter box politics, etc. If you must, use a kitty wipe all over. When adult, it might be a good idea if you bath them 'quickly' once a year. It gets off the dander and cleans the skin. For fleas, use a collar, not powder or pesticides. Cats can get sick when they lick themselves.

no honey its not. Bathing them alot drys out their skin and makes them feel itchy. Also cats really dont like being wet- they don't dry as fast as we do. Even when they look mostly dry they still are usually damp underneath. Its also easy for them to get sick if their continuously wet, being damp usually makes them cold. A wet cat is an uncomfortable cat. I wouldnt bath you kitten often at all - at the most once every two months. Dont worry they like to clean themselves and they dont get dirty like dogs do.
