Bathing advice for different breeds of cats

I. For long-haired cats

Long-haired cats' hair is easy to knot, accumulate dust, and some stupid long-haired cats will also be easy to get poop when pooping, therefore, compared to short cats and kittens, they are more likely to dirty themselves, so the generally recommended bathing frequency is 2-3 months, if the home environment is very clean, long-haired cats are also very careful to take care of their hair every day, it does not look dirty when the pet owner can also wash once every six months. After all, actually bathing this thing is not necessary for cats. We can completely keep our cats clean and reduce the frequency of bathing by grooming them every day, reducing dust, deworming them regularly, and wiping their paws.

Second, for shorthair cats

If our home is very clean and the cat does not have the bad habit of playing with poop and rummaging through the garbage can, a bath once every six months is OK, and some clean kittens are even bathed only once a year. Daily maintenance is actually more important than a big cleaning. Because both long-haired and short-haired, hair loss is an inevitable thing for them, as long as we clean up the surrounding environment every day, plus the kitty's daily self-cleaning, to maintain the fragrance is no problem at all ah.

Third, for kittens

If the kitten is not vaccinated and dewormed, it is not recommended to bathe, regardless of the frequency of bathing. Kittens have a weak immune system, so bathing may cause stress on the one hand, and on the other hand, in some pet stores where cleaning is not yet in place, it is easy for cats to contract terrible diseases such as feline distemper. So for kittens, try not to bathe if you can.

IV. For stray cats

Nowadays, we advocate adoption instead of buying cats. For adopted or kidnapped stray cats, most of them are not vaccinated and lack basic immunity. The correct approach is to go to the hospital first for a physical examination to determine the health of the pet and after vaccination, then take a bath .

In addition, if your cat is very resistant to bathing, you can actually use several water-free methods instead. For example, no-wash body wash, and no-wash gloves, first let the cat accept you to clean it, and then slowly transition to water washing, do not be too hasty.
