Do you bathe your cats? If so, how often? Where and how do you bathe your cat at home? Groomers? Is it true that bathing your cat helps keep dander down?
I would like to get my kittens used to being bathed. Pipsqueak only gets about two baths a year and really hates them. I am looking for people's experience with bathing their cats. I think it helps to get the loose hair out, especially in the springtime. I have also heard of people who are allergic to cats using distilled water to rinse the cat instead of actually bathing. Dander is actually made by cats saliva drying on their coats. So I think bathing them would make them lick even more and create more dander. My SIL rinses her cat weekly in distilled water because she is very allergic, and she has done this for about over a year and it has helped with her allergies. I am not allergic, just interested in opinions on this. Thanks
