How to Bathe Your Cat Properly?

It is well known that most cats are very clean. Cats will spend four hours cleaning themselves. Should we still wash it? Of course, you also choose not to do this. But some cats should be washed once every six months more to once a year. The correct way to do this is as follows

• Step 1

  This step is that let the cat get familiar with the environment or interact with the cat first, the cat can relax then can take a bath. To avoid your cat scratching yourself in an emotional state, you can trim the kitten's nails as well as calming it down during the period.
  

• Step 2

  This step is to adjust the temperature of the room and water. The temperature of the room should be kept at 18-25°C and the temperature of the hot water should be controlled at 39-45°C. Because the normal body temperature of cats is around 39°C .

• Step 3

  This step is to prepare what you need to wash cats, such as a bath tub, pet shampoo, towels, scooping containers, combs, brushes, skimmer swabs, cotton balls, petroleum jelly, small tweezers and hair dryers. Do not go out to get things in the middle of the bath.

• Step 4 

• This step is that gently place the cat into the water. Grasp the cat's neck with one hand and drag the hind limbs with the other. Patting some water on its back to allow it and let the cats get used to the water temperature first. Then slowly place it into the bath tub and pour water over its body slowly, soaking it in order from its back, belly, limbs and tail in turn.

      Note: When doing these steps, be gentle and slow, do not be too hasty.

• Step 5

  This step is that once your cat's body is wet, squeeze an appropriate amount of shampoo into your hands, rub it into the foam and wipe it all over your cat's body, rubbing the litter, paws, belly and other areas that are not easily cleaned. Be gentle!

 Note: When bathing, you can gently stroke your cat's head to make it feel more secure.

• Step 6

  The bath for your cat should not be too long, preferably finished within half an hour. Once washed, take a dry towel and dry it well. Again, be gentle!

• Step 7 is that set the hairdryer to the lowest heat setting and speed and slowly approach the cat and gently cover it with your hand to dry it as slowly as possible with the least amount of air.
