Answer 2

I bathe my 2 cats every 2-3 weeks in the spring and summer months when they go out and come in with a lot of fleas. I asked the vet about it 1st though, so I know it's safe to do. I always run extra water, I've learned it's easier to rinse that way. Other than that I talk calmly to them, so they don't think I do it out of anger. They can sense it in your voice, so even if they do scratch I remain calm throughout.

Answer 3

put it in the toilet, put the lid down and flush flush flush!! Just kidding.

I have a cat, that isn't declawed, so I've learned that I have to put long socks on my arms so that he can't scratch me. I fill up the tub to about 4 inches, and shut the shower door, and keep my cat turned away from me. rub the cat down with the soap, then splash most of the soap out of his coat with the water already in the tub. Then let that water out, while still in the tub. Then, what works for me, is turning on the facet to an okay temp, and grabbing my cat's legs and sticking him under the facet. It sounds mean, but it doesn't hurt him any, unless he tries to get away, which he's learned not to do. and then open up the shower door, let the cat run out, thinking he's free, and while he's trying to lick himself dry, catch him under a towel and rub him halfway dry so that he won't track water around the house. he'll dry himself out.

P.S. Don't let water get in it's ears. If you wash the head, either just rub it down with a wash cloth, or fold the ears over and pour water on it, but make sure that water doesn't get into its ears.

Answer 5

Cats can be very hard to bathe. For a while, I had trouble with fleas on mine. So to wash them I would have to put water in the tub, then get in the tub with them. I wore the battle scars for quite a while after that!

Answer 6

my cat hates it too... but her spirit has been broken becuase we treated her so roughly as kids... ANYWAYS. so yea, she doesnt really complain when we bathe her, she just sort of cowards. we give her a bath in the bath tub with enough luke-warm water to just cover her feet. also make sure you have the shower curtain pulled, so they just think there is a wall there. then use a little pail to gently dump water on her/him to wash the shampoo off. once you're done, pull the curtain away and let the cat jump out. they will shake themselves off, and then you can quickly wipe them down. after that i suggest you give them a treat and leave them alone until they dry off

Answer 7

Cats are very hard to bathe, if she doesn't really need it, most cats are extremely clean, then I wouldn't do it. My cat will jump into the tub with me so I don't have any problems. Good Luck KG

Answer 8

Unless they absolutely need a bath, dont bathe her, they clean themselves everyday. If you must be very careful, most cats hate water and you could get scratched really bad. DONT listen to donica she is wrong and yes that is very cruel.

Answer 9

You shouldn't be bathing cats, unless they really get messy in something. If you must, use a small smount of liquid dishwashing soap in the tub.

Answer 10

If your cat is particularly smelly you can buy pet wipes, which are glorified baby wipes and give her a good wiping with one. You can also get a damp wash cloth and a bit of baby shampoo or cat shampoo and use it to wipe her down and then take another damp one to rinse it off, but generally most cats do clean themselves.
