Well, cats do not like moisture very much, although not all. Some swim with great pleasure, and this does not have a genetic predisposition, but most likely is the merit of the owner, who made it clear to the fluffy that washing is a sheer pleasure. A cat, not afraid of the first acquaintance with water, will ask itself, periodically coming to the bath or even the sink.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour warm water into a basin or tub and add a non-caustic shampoo. You can use a special product or regular baby shampoo to wash the cat, which does not irritate the mucous membrane of the eyes. If during the first bathing the fluffy experiences fear or burning sensation in the eyes, as well as water in the ears, then that's it, next time he won't be in the water.
Step 2
Place cotton balls in the cat's ears before diving into the tub. Gently wet the animal, do not forget to talk and stroke gently. If the furry shows you its sharp claws, leaving a mark on your hand, do not swear. Try to be as calm as possible. After the main wash, thoroughly rinse the fur of the animal with running water. Dry your cat with a soft, clean towel.
Step 3
If the first experience of water procedures ended in failure, and you hastily managed to wash off the foam from the cat, do not try again in the first days. Some animals imitate their master, so when you go to take a bath, do not close the door. The cat should be interested in the bubbles of foam, and he will also understand that if the owner is washing, then it is not at all scary.
Step 4
The cat needs to get used to the water, repeat attempts to wash the animal, but try to minimize the impact on his mental health. If the pet screams and scratches heart-rendingly, and before this incident he walked without washing for several years and nothing, then let him continue to wash with his tongue. And you sometimes wipe it with a damp, clean cloth against the grain.
