Parents who raise cats should understand that most cats are afraid of water or hate water, but bathing cats is inevitable, so bathing cats has become a problem for some parents. Of course, there are many things that should be paid attention to when bathing a cat. Bathe the cat from an early age to let the cat get used to it. When he grows up, the cat may not be so resistant to water.

When bathing a cat, be careful to prevent water from entering the cat’s ears and eyes.

It is not advisable to bathe kittens that have just been weaned. Kittens have just left their mother cats, and their body’s resistance is relatively weak, so they are prone to illness.

After taking a bath in summer, do not let the cat bask in a place with strong sunlight. This can easily cause the cat to suffer from heat stroke.

After taking a bath in winter, to prevent the cat from catching cold, it is necessary to keep the cat warm in time to prevent the occurrence of diseases.

Cats should not be bathed in the later stages of pregnancy because bathing may cause miscarriage.

Kittens under six months old are not suitable for frequent bathing, as their resistance is weak and they are more likely to get sick.

Cats should not be bathed within 2 weeks after being vaccinated. Because the cat may have systemic or local reactions after being vaccinated, bathing at this time will cause the cat to become ill.

The frequency of bathing a cat should not be too frequent. The elasticity of the cat's skin and the luster of the coat are maintained by sebum. Bathing the cat too frequently will cause a large amount of sebum to be lost, resulting in reduced skin elasticity and rough coat that is easy to break. Short-haired cats can be treated once every 1-2 months or once every few months, depending on your needs, the degree of dirtiness of the cat, and the degree of oily hair. Long-haired cats should be treated at least once every two weeks, and if they are Persians, it is best to treat them once every 7-10 days. Long-haired cats must have their hair unclogged between washes so that they can be easily combed after washing. In addition, long-haired cats must be diligent in combing their hair at least twice a day, for at least 15 minutes each time. Don't wait until your cat's fur becomes tangled before combing it. If you can't comb it through, cut it off.
