Let's see how to bathe a cat easily and safely. We recommend that you bathe your cat in the sink, as the height and size of the sink are appropriate and will make bathing easier. This is what you should do: Fill the basin a few inches with warm water. Have the cat with you, so it will get used to hearing the noise of the tap. Speak to your cat in a calm tone, transmitting calm. Choosing the right time for the bath is essential to get it out well: do it when your cat is calm. If you want, you can plan it and play with it for a while so that it gets a little tired; This will not make you so nervous at bath time. Before you wet it, make sure to comb it well to remove knots and dead hair. Place a cotton ball in each ear to prevent water from entering.
Don't mess it up too much either! It's just about plugging your ears. Do not fill the bathroom with more than 10 cm of water, and try not to make it too hot. When everything is ready, it's time to wet the cat. Do it little by little, preferably with a hand shower. When your cat is completely wet, it's time for shampoo. Use a special one for cats, apply it by massaging, always in favor of the hair. Be careful not to get your face and ears wet! When you are finished, make sure to completely rinse the shampoo. If there are remains, it could irritate your skin! As we said, do not focus the shower on your face. If you want to clean it, you better use a clean cloth dipped in warm water. If your face is very dirty, you can dilute a little shampoo and clean it with that soapy water, always being careful not to get it into your eyes. If you want to cut or file your nails, it is best to do it before the bath, when the cat is still dry. Take advantage of the hairstyle time.
After bath...
After bathing your cat, it's time to dry ... and this step is just as important! Wrap your cat in a towel and let it dry in a warm place, for example, near a radiator. Avoid drafts! Noises are usually scary for animals, but if your cat is brave, you can try drying it with a dryer. If you want your cat to behave well in bath times and associate it with something good, as soon as you finish drying, it will be the ideal time to give him a great reward. Pets love treats! Give him a prize and you will see that little by little he is perceiving the bathroom experience in a more positive way
