Question

DO I USE PEOPLE SHAMPOO OR PET SHAMPOO????

Answer 1

Go to a store like PetSmart or Petco or even the Supermarket...they have wipes for kittens. They're almost like babywipes, but designed for kittens that need to be cleaned up. It also depends on how old the kitten is...i think the earliest they can go in the tub is 12 weeks.

Answer 2

You should kitten shampoo that you can buy at stores like Petsmart or Petco.
Have you ever given a bath to an animal before?
You want to make sure that you don't get the shampoo in her eyes or ears.
It is not easy to give a cat a bath but with practice and taking it slow, it will help. You could give the kitten a bath in a small tub, although the sink might be better.
You may just be able to use a washcloth, put the shampoo on it and rub it over her and rinse her before and after. Make sure you get all of the shampoo off of her or she will be itchy.

Answer 3

If this is the cats first bath, make a game of wetting it gradually, first with a washcloth and then a sponge into the fur.Use a large wash-bowl ,or the kitchen sink filled with about 4 inches of lukewarm water,and if you have it fit it with a rubber mat so the cat wont slip out of your grip. Hold the cat firmly but don't restrain it any more than you have to.Otherwise,it will struggle so much that shampooing will be extremely difficult.You should use cat shampoo or baby soap because cats lick themselves and will get sick from regular shampoo which can be very toxic.After shampooing the cat,rinse thoroughly. Dry the cat with a warm towel.

Answer 4

How old is she?? You can use kitten/cat shampoo with a washcloth but make sure you rinse her well with seperate wash cloth. If she is older than 8 weeks you can bath her but I would still recommend using a washcloth rather than bathing her in the tub or sink with it full of water. If she is very young or you are afraid of bathing her you can buy the wipes at your pet store that is a bathwipe for cats. Do not use human shampoo or baby wipes on a cat. But the pet store should have the cat wipes or the shampoo, whichever you decide. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

well u can use shampoo that's not 2 harash on her skin , like maybe baby shampoo or no -tears shampoo 2! NEVER use dish detergent on any animal though, that'll dry out there skin and irraitate them and strip all the natural oils from there skin. also, never wash the face area, use a cloth wit warm wtater only (if u msut) and wipe the face wit tht. make sure u rinse the kitten good 2 because if u dnt, she'll be more apt 2 get itchy and irriated skin.
hope this helps!

1] less than 12 weeks - use baby wipes
2] more than 12 weeks - bath time!
a] put a few inches of warm water in sink or tub
b] get all equipment ready - baby or pet shampoo, 2 dry towels, and a large unbreakable cup [ 12 - 16 ounce size ]
c] put kitten in tub, and hold in place by scruff of neck. [ just hold, no lifting by scruff ]
d] wet fur as rapidly as possible, without getting face wet
[ this is when the cup is handy ]
e] squirt some shampoo on kittens back, and start massaging it into her fur. Be quick but thorough. Wash everything from neck down.
f] rinse thoroughly. any soap you leave will get licked off, and she will get diarrhea!
g] dry thoroghly with one towel, discard, and wrap in the dry one.

Answer 7

This may sound kind of cruel, but here is what i did when i had to wash my cat. I put duck tape over all of his paws and then made sure to grab him by the neck. I didnt submerge his whole body, instead I only filled my sink up so that it came up a little past his ankles. Have everything on hand because you want to get it over as quick as possible. It would be a good idea if you had a friend help. By the way, when I said duck tape the claws, JUST THE CLAW PART, lol. It would be very hard if you got too much of it on the fur part. GOOD LUCK

Answer 8

the right thing to do would try a damp sponge with shampoo on it(normal people shampoo) (very mild amount) and just rub the spot alittle with the sponge. After that rinse off the shampoo and damp the sponge again and rinse the shampoo off. No biggy.

Answer 9

Just get a little container like a not too large bowl and just put a little water in it, lukewarm,not too hot or cold. Then just set her bottom in the water and use some shampoo and your hands to lather her bottom up then have anothr container of water same temperature with clear water for rinsing her, just pour the clear water over her bottom, lifting her up from the bowl. Have a towel handy to wrap her in and dry her good. No need to get water around her head.

Answer 10

Just wash her in the sink or the bathtub with mild pet soap or very mild dishsoap and make sure you rinse her off well. I bathe my cat all the time. Sometimes she cooperates, sometimes she doesn't. If you hold her by the scruff of the neck like her mom used to she will be submissive and let you do it. Be sure to dry her with a towel so she doesn't get too cold :)
