Could someone tell me if it is safe for a cat to use baby wipes on it or should I just get the wipes for cats?
Thanx

Ive been using baby wipes on my kitten since we brought her home, and they have been working out great.

Yes, I used baby wipes on my cats when they were kittens and it worked like magic... it's lucky they exist...

I was actually wondering the same thing as I priced the kitty wipes yesterday and was shocked at how expensive they are!


Are there any ingredients to avoid in baby wipes? Will they actually get dirt off fur?

Baby wipes contain rubbing alcohol, which will dry out the fur. I'm not sure if the ingredients are safe for grooming - meaning ingesting.

I have no idea what is in the kitten wipes.

I bought several packages of cheapo washcloths from Wal*Mart. Get them damp and use like wipes. I use a large plastic shoe box to hold them until I have a load to wash.

If you use baby wipes you need to get the unscented ones. All the brands I've ever bought are alcohol free too.
