Answer 1

Yes, of course - In fact, the earlier you get her used to it, the better!

Persians need baths and grooming to keep them looking like puff-balls - Start now and she'll think it's normal as she gets older.

Answer 2

My kitten starting taking baths the day I got her at 4 weeks. My cats love the water and they are always playing in the shower when I'm trying to clean myself. Anyway, I've used baby shampoo on them both from the beginning. But I diluted it about 50% when they were babies. Now they get shampooed about every 10 days and love every freaking minute of it. Start early with your baby and she'll get used to it. Being a persian it's probably a better idea to get her on a good grooming schedule early so you can keep her nice and pretty. Best of luck.

Answer 3

Yes, but be careful with what shampoos you use . especially if they have pesticides for fleas or ticks in them. For Cats only. cats have the habit of sleeping in their cat boxes when they are young. you do not have to bath so often brush thoroughly , but, if you do, be sure to comb from skin out, all loose hair or tangles must be out before the bath. Stripping hair after bad grooming habits are very hard on the pets skin and can be very expensive at a grooming salon

Answer 4

Yes I knew a persian cat breeder, she had bathed some cats young like that in a slight bit of luke-warm water, brush the excess water with her hand then with a blow dryer(from a distance) dried them, ran a brush through their fur and let them be. Yes very good to start at a young age persions tend to get clumps of hair you need to be at them a lot and use gloves- those claws! The breeder gave me one as a chritmas present.

Answer 5

yes you can give your persian cat a bath at three months...I do it all the time...but you do have to blow the hair dry and comb it until it's almost completely dry or they'll get matted....my cat gets a shampoo every single week and a goes to the kitty hair salon for a clip every six months...I've been doing it for years and he loves it probably because i started when he was very young....hope that helps

Answer 6

Yes, she certainly can have a bath at her age, but i would make sure she is dried immediatly and thoroughly. A damp kitten can catch pnemonia. You should be getting her used to grooming, taking her to a pro woulndt be a bad idea, as she will no doubt need professional grooming at sometime in her life.

Answer 7

Vinegar and Pine-Sol?! I'm surprised you didn't kill her, honestly. You know it is toxic, right? I guarantee she ingested it while grooming herself. To me, what you're doing is animal abuse. ALL you had to do was get her a monthly topical such as Revolution or Frontline. At this point, she HAS to go to the vet. If she has fleas, she is going to have tapeworms, too. If left untreated, the fleas and worms will eventually kill her. If you truly cannot afford to take her to the vet, do her a favor and surrender her to a no-kill shelter. She deserves much better than this.

Answer 8

yes. the younger you bathe your cat. the earlier she will get used to water the better. When i first gave my kitten a bath she went crazy. So i suggest you be really careful.

Good Luck!!

Depends on where you live, if you live in the northern climate, I would say no, not unless you can keep her very warm until she is dry, change her towel several times, and keep her wrapped in one until she is dry, maybe use a hairdrier, to keep the towel warm. Cats can get colds quite easily. especially when wet. Younger ones especially. Or you can get wipes from the pet shop, to use to clean the oppsys,

Answer 10

yes you can give her a bath just use gentle shampoo, dry her good, and keep her out of the dirt
