How to clean a cat?

1. You can also mix half and half of some starch and boric acid powder and pat it on the tear stains. The powder can absorb stains and act as a bleaching agent.

2. Dissolve a tablespoon of boric acid powder into a cup of boiling water and mix well. Buy a small container and put makeup remover cotton in it. Pour the solution onto a cotton pad and slowly pour off the excess solution. Cover the box. Then take one of these makeup remover wipes every day to bleach, remove tears, and prevent tear stains from building up. Remember to change makeup remover pads once a week to prevent bacteria from growing and causing infection if left for too long. Another simple way is to wipe your eyes with a hot towel every day.

3. Ear cleaning: No daily care is required, cleaning 2 to 3 times a month to avoid ear diseases such as ear mites. If there is dirt, use a cotton swab dipped in ear drops or mild and non-irritating baby oil to clean it in time. Do not extend it too far, just wipe the visible part clean.

4. Dental care: Healthy cats’ teeth are white or light yellow. They should clean their teeth 2 to 3 times a week to ensure healthy teeth and avoid the production of tartar, calculus or other oral diseases. You can wrap gauze around your finger and gently wipe the teeth to let the cat get used to this behavior before using a cat toothbrush.

5. Nail care: Cats have developed the habit of sharpening their claws to keep their claws sharp and prevent their nails from becoming too long and bent. This is also the need for their own physiological regulation. To avoid furniture damage and scratches, their nails should be trimmed regularly, once a week. When pruning, attention should be paid to the blood vessels and nerves at the base of the toes and claws, and should not be cut too deep to avoid bleeding. And prepare scratching boards, cat climbing frames, etc. for cats to sharpen their claws on a daily basis.

6. Observe the cat’s tail and chin. There are secretory glands at the base of the male cat’s tail, which will cause the tail to become dirty. In addition, young male cats often have some black adhesive on their chins. Pay attention to cleanliness in these places as well. It is best to soak the tail in dish soap for a while, then brush it with a toothbrush, and then rinse it with water. The chin can be scrubbed with dish soap or wiped with alcohol.
