Cats like children are often afraid of the unfamiliar. Fill your bathtub with a little water and a few goldfish. Cats love this and will spend hours playing with the fish. Each time you do this fill the tub up a little more until you reach the desired level for bathing your cat. When I run the bath water my cat sits on the edge of the tub, watches the fish for a few minutes, then jumps in. People who do not bathe their cats are used to the smell, and don't even realize how bad the cat and house stinks. I have been bathing my cat for years and he is a very happy & healthy cat. There are many good books out there on training your cat, the important thing is to start early. A cat can be trained just like a dog, assuming you have the time and patience to do it.

All cats hate water you should put it in the tub not too filed with water and slowly lower it in so the cat can get used to the water. After a while the cat can clean it self so only result to bathes if it still doesn't know how to clean it self!!!!

Cats dont like water. What I do is be sure to shrink my cats claws before i tub him, so as that if he scratches he wont harm me and that i will proceed bathing him. Fill your tub with approximately an inch of water or consistent with probability a lil extra, turn off the faucet and positioned your cat interior the tub. Now you will possibly desire to hold him down firmly, consistent with probability get somebody to assist carry him down at the same time as you wash him. desire this facilitates.

most, if not all, cat dont like water at all. I once tried to bathe my kitty and she jumped off and scratched me on my arm and neck and I bled. Try adding water on ur kitten little by little or wet a towel n wash her. Make sure the water is warm

is there a reason that you are bathing your cat? cat's generally don't need baths they clean themselves. unless your cat is very old and can't groom herself or is sick and can't, or some how has gotten into something she shouldn't and needs it washed off those would be the only real reason's to bathe a cat.
they have waterless baths you can spray on your cat and rub in, Nature's Miracle makes a good product, it even reduces dander.

They are good swimmers its usually the temperature of water they don't like. If your cat needs a clean the Martins cat products do wipes you heat in the microwave that you then wipe on your cat and this cleans them freshens them and kills germs.

cats do not need to be bathed like dogs do, they clean themselves. Unless your cat has gotten into something sticky or nasty that she cannot take care of herself, you have no reason to bathe her. It will be less stressful on you and your cat.
