Cat mothers will definitely find it very strange. Why do dogs are happy to take a bath but the opposite? In fact, this needs to be understood from the natural habits of the animals themselves, because kittens themselves do not like water, so when taking a bath, don’t prepare a full basin of bathing water for them. Generally, the prepared water is better to reach the parts of the cat’s legs that are not at the root of the cat’s legs, so that the cat will not feel afraid. The following preparations will help you become more handy in the process of bathing the cat.
1. Prepare
(1) Cat's special bath solution (you can also use Johnson & Johnson baby tearless formula bath solution.
(2) You can prepare a few more pieces for drying. If you have the conditions, you can use a special water-absorbing towel, which has better effect.
(3) Hair dryer is used to dry cat's hair. If you have the conditions, it is best to choose a silent air heater. This noise is very small and most cats can accept it.
( 4) Hot water, the water temperature is about 38-40 degrees Celsius, you can wash it in a basin or rinse it with a spray head.
2. Precautions when taking a bath
(1) Do not bathe cats under three months, because they are prone to catch a cold or diarrhea due to taking a bath, and they can easily die because of it
(2) Do not rinse the head directly with the spray head, nor do you shine the head, so the water flows all over the cat's ears, which is very likely to cause otitis media. It is recommended to wipe the head clean with a wrung hot towel, and wipe it a few more times. It is relatively clean.
(3) Use hot air when blowing, and turn it on from the lowest air volume to avoid scaring the cat. And pay attention to step by step. When the hair dryer is turned on, you should be far away from the cat. After the cat is slightly stable, you should gradually get closer to her. You can gradually increase the air volume after the cat is adapted, but be careful not to burn the cat.
(4) It is best to use a brush to carefully brush the hair (specially long-haired cat) after blowing, so that the hair that falls off during the shower will not be licked by the cat, so as not to form hair balls in the stomach, seriously affecting the digestive system .
(5) You can only get to Fulaien after it is completely dry. If there are other cats at home, be careful to isolate the new cat for 24 hours.
Note: When cleaning, do not spray water on the kitten's body randomly, and do not put the water into the cat's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. When bathing it, it is best to prepare a small cup, use the cup to ask for water, and then slowly pour it onto the cat's body, gently rub it and bathe it to prevent the cat from moving because of discomfort.
