Advantages and disadvantages of bathing cats

Advantages

1. Bathing cats can effectively care for them hair, making the hair texture more fluffy and shiny.

2. It can promote blood circulation in the cat's body, remove dirt on the cat's body surface and hair, and make the cat healthier and more beautiful.

Disadvantages

1. Bathing a cat must not be done frequently, because the skin can secrete a kind of oil to protect the cat’s body surface. The skin is protected from bacteria and parasites. If you bathe your cat frequently, it will destroy the oil on the cat's body surface, causing bacteria to invade the cat's skin, making the cat more susceptible to skin diseases.

2. In addition, pet cats cannot produce vitamin D by themselves. They need to bask in the sun to produce vitamin D on their fur, and then absorb vitamin D by licking their fur. If you bathe your cat frequently, it will easily destroy the vitamin D in the fur, causing the cat to be unable to absorb calcium nutrients, causing symptoms of calcium deficiency, and affecting the growth of the cat's bones.

3. Cats are very afraid of bathing. When you first give the cat a bath, the cat will feel nervous and scared, and may run around.
