Bathing cats, water temperature is very important. Too cold or too hot water can irritate cats, causing them panic and anxiety. The most suitable water temperature is that our hands feel a little hot, because cats have higher body temperature than humans. If we feel warm, it will be cold for cats.
Calm down before taking a bath.
It is best to choose a bathroom with a small space to bathe the cat, which is convenient for controlling the cat. But don't suddenly take it to a small single room and close the door, so they will feel uneasy. So, don't turn on the water pipe as soon as you enter the bathroom. It's best to touch him first to calm him down, and then take a shower when he calms down.
3. Take a shower instead of a bath.
When I put the cat in the water, did the cat try its best to escape? So I suggest you give the cat a bath. Because the cat is very afraid of "entering the water", watching you stuff it into the water is naturally a desperate struggle. So if you use the shower, you will struggle less. To bathe a cat, you must use small water at first, and then rinse your back first.
4. Take a bath in a special bath for pets
Human bathing and shampooing are not suitable for cats. Because cat's skin is neutral, and human toiletries are alkaline. This is harmful to the cat's skin. Long-term use will reduce their immunity and make them prone to skin diseases.
5. Wash your body first, then your limbs, and finally wash your hair.
Cats are very upset when taking a bath, so in order to relieve their mood, it is best to start washing from the body. Back, sides, abdomen, neck, tail, limbs. For the cat's head, it is best not to rinse it to prevent water from entering the ears. And the cat's head is short hair, which is easy to wash.
6. About hair dryers
If the cat is not too afraid to control the sound of the hair dryer, let your cat stick its head in your arms and cover it to dry. If the cat really doesn't like the hair dryer, you can also buy a heating lamp to use, which will soon dry the cat's hair.
