Babycheeks (
) is 2 months old, is she too young for it fullstop or should I just be very careful and dry her immediately and not let her get cold?

When we brought the barn kittens in for weaning (5-6 weeks old) they all got 1st baths within a week of coming in the house.

None got sick, etc. They all were dried quickly and kept in a room with no windows, so no drafts till they were dry.

My pedigree rex kittens were introduced to baths by the time they were 2-3 months old. Again, none ever got sick.
