Typical pet cats will not like being bathed. But if your cat has somehow gotten herself into a sticky or stinky situation, then a bath is in order. Select a room equipped with a closing door. Be sure to use water that is lukewarm and a cat-safe shampoo. See if you can only spot clean the dirty sections of her body as much as possible. There are cats that are okay with sitting inside a basin full of water, while there are others that much prefer water to be poured on them using a small bowl. Avoid using water-spraying devices as they tend to make noises that might startle your pet and instill in her a fear of baths. Make sure to collect all bath supplies in a single area for efficiency. Be calm when speaking to your pet all the time but avoid comforting her where it becomes a reinforcement to her yowling or escape attempts. Be sure to thoroughly rinse your cat and dry her using a towel. Keep her warm until such time that she dries completely. Any sign of skin and/or hair coat issue exhibited by your pet should be brought to the attention of your vet clinic Thorold, ON.
