How do you wash your cat? - Page 2

After reading some of the posts I have a new appreciation for my boy Sprite and how he behaves in the bath. Sprite is a 2 yr old siamese mix and I have been giving him baths since he was 8 weeks old. I have always used the tub and he has always seemed to enjoy the bath. He loves water so when I pour the bath he will come and look over the edge and I just plop him in. I think it helps to get them used to it when they are young, but I guess some cats will never like it. I have yet to give my new baby Elf a bath but I look forward to seeing how he reacts.

I am lucky because Riley actually enjoys his baths. He has a rubber ducky he likes to play with and he sits quiet and lets me wash him. I do have to make it quick though, because he gets bored easy and once he does, he wants out.

If only he was as easy to brush as he is to bathe! I do trim the fur around his backside though, because he has the same problem of not always getting clean back there, hence the bi-monthly bathing

I have never had to bathe any of our cats. If they do get dirty, I will use those pre-moistened oatmeal wipes on them. That's what I did with Emma when I brought her home because she was really dirty but I didn't want to stress her out with a bath.

I never bathed any of my cats. Even the one's who go outside. They never need it. They keep themselves clean and unless they came home physically with mud on them or dirt or something that they cannot or should not lick off, then I will bathe them, but the need never came up.

I guess we can't have it all! At least he doesn't mind the bathing!

If I had short haired cats I wouldn't bathe unless they got in something. But it really does help to keep long, thick haired cats more manageable as far as mat free and a bit less shedding.
