Human beings have had a close relationship with pet cats since ancient times, but some owners may neglect the hygiene of pet cats and leave them without bathing for a long time. What dangerous bacteria can there be in cats if they haven’t been bathed for two years? This is a question we need to explore.

First of all, what we need to know is that cats themselves are very clean animals. They use their tongues to comb their hair, so cats usually do not have a lot of bacteria on their skin and hair. However, if cats don’t bathe for a long time, sebum and dirt on their bodies will continue to accumulate, which will become a breeding ground for bacteria.

Cat’s hair is a major hiding place for bacteria. Cats that have not been bathed for a long time will breed various bacteria, the most common of which are Streptococcus, Staphylococcus and E. coli. These bacteria are common cat bacteria that can cause skin diseases, eye diseases, oral diseases, urinary system diseases and more.

In addition, cats may also carry parasites and mites. Cats that are not bathed for a long time will allow these bugs to breed and multiply on their bodies, thus endangering the cat's health. For example, fleas on a cat can bite its skin, causing itching and inflammation.

However, it is worth noting that even if cats do not take a bath for a long time, they may not necessarily get all diseases. This is because cats’ immune systems are relatively strong and they can resist the invasion of some germs. However, this does not mean that we can ignore the hygiene issues of cats. Cats that are not bathed for a long time may also infect family members with cat bacteria and germs, so we need to maintain cat hygiene at all times.

So, how to bathe a cat? Cats are very sensitive animals, and they may not like getting wet. Therefore, we need to be fully prepared before bathing the cat. First, we need to prepare some clean towels, shampoo, shower gel and other items. Secondly, we need to choose a relatively quiet environment so that the cat can feel at ease.

When bathing cats, we need to pay attention to the following points:

1. Temperature: The cat’s body temperature is relatively high, so we need to use warm water to bathe it. The best water temperature is around 37°C.

　2. Mental state: When bathing, we need to make cats feel safe and relaxed to avoid them twisting due to nervousness.

3. Tips: When washing cats, we need to comb the cat’s hair with our fingers to make them feel like they are cleaning themselves. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to avoiding the cat’s sensitive parts.

4. Drying: After taking a bath, we need to dry the cat's hair with a dry towel, and then blow dry it with a hair dryer.

In short, although cats do not necessarily have dangerous bacteria if they are not bathed for a long time, we still need to pay attention to cat hygiene issues and bathe cats regularly to avoid the growth of bacteria on their bodies.born. At the same time, we also need to always pay attention to the physical health of the cat, and take the cat to the veterinarian in time if there is any abnormality.
