Cats in the following situations cannot be bathed:

1. Do not bathe new cats that have just arrived home to avoid causing stress reactions. It is best to wait until the cat adapts to the new environment before washing. During this period, you can feed the cat some probiotics to improve immunity.

2. When the cat is unwell or sick, do not take a bath to avoid catching cold and aggravating the condition.

3. Do not bathe kittens that have just been weaned. They have just left the mother cat not long ago. Their resistance is relatively weak and they are prone to illness. It is advisable to take a bath two months after weaning.

4. Cats under 6 months old should not be bathed frequently as they are prone to illness.

5. Do not bathe within 2 weeks after vaccination, because cats may have local or systemic reactions after vaccination, and bathing can cause other diseases.

6. Cats that have just been externally dewormed should not bathe frequently. Bathing will reduce the oil on the cat’s skin and may affect the efficacy of the drug.

7. Do not bathe your cat when it is in heat. Cats in estrus will become restless and their resistance will become weaker. Cats are already suffering from estrus. If the owner bathes the cat at this time, it will undoubtedly make things worse.

8. Cats cannot be bathed immediately after exercising at home. At this time, the blood in the cat's body is still in the limbs and muscles. Bathing the cat in a hurry will cause harm to its body. The owner should wait for the cat to be still for half an hour before giving it a bath with hot water.

9. After the cat is bred, it cannot be bathed immediately. At this time, the cat's condition is extremely unstable. Bathing at this time may cause inflammation in the cat. It is recommended to bathe the cat after a week.
