After I bathe my dog (welsh corgi) I towel dry her and she's almost completely dry. I can bathe my long hair cat and it takes forever for him to dry if I don't blow dry him....Why is this?

A corgi has different hair than a long haired cat. The cat hair takes longer to dry because it is long. I have 2 bichon shih-tzu crosses and their hair dries quicker if it is shorter. If it is long, then it take a while to dry.

Omg bathe that cat!!! whoever instructed you the cat might desire to die is majorly misinformed. what i do is i plug in my transportable heater and get it great heat and you may desire to hold him/her by way of the nape of the neck like it incredibly is momma did whilst it became a kitten. it could freak out yet in simple terms shop a competent grip and wash at as quickly as.. i run a strip of the shampoo from neck to tail then scrub as i moist.. dont wash the face tho.. they make those babywipe cloths for their faces.. towel dry genuine sturdy.. use 2 or 3 towels.. . anyhow ensure you have somebody that can assist you you.. the cat isn't traumatized.. he would be a splash pissy for a couple of minutes yet would be soo happy to be sparkling and mushy.. and on the recognize the flea's/tick's heres what i do (4 cats/2 canines). found out from trial and blunder: purchase the convenience drops from the petstore/vets. there is not any different product which could come close to to this.. you will get a single dose from the vet for approximately $15 and it lasts approximately 2 months incredibly. Flea collars are ok yet they won't ever shop your cat flea loose.. If there became such an merchandise each animal may be carrying one.. Alot of cats are allergic to them and finally end up with a foul rash and/or hairloss... ~GoodLuck~

well, first of all, your cat has long hair < as you said> so it will take longer to dry. also, your dog may be running around and drying itself off and your cat may be lying down. if you want them to dry at the same speed, have your dog calm down and move your cat around or dry it with a towel or blow dryer.

Well my long haired cat has very fluffy fine hair so when we take showers he soaks up like a sponge. My mom's dog however has coarse wirery hair and when she washes her the water doesn't soak at all and drys really quick. Hope that answers your question.

because dogs shake the water off and the cat probably stays still and waits for the water to dry

dogs carry more oil in their fur than cats therefore water doesn't penetrate as deep into the hair itself.

dogs fur is made for them to go into water and it not get deep into their coats where cats hair is like ours, we get wet down to our skin and so do they, hence, they don't like water.

for sure it's the oil's, many working dogs are this way. and you sometimes have a musky odor as well.
