How to give a cat a bath​

Cat owners can generally depend on a cat's natural ability and desire to clean herself, but periodic baths may be necessary. The following tips can help you and your cat have a more pleasant bath experience.

  • Assemble all the necessary materials (a soft towel, soft brush, and a shampoo and conditioner formulated especially for cats) before you get your cat. If the shampoo is very thick, you can dilute it with water before use.

  • Bring your cat into the bathroom. Close the door and keep it closed until you are finished.

  • Just prior to the bath, if your cat allows, place cotton balls in the ears and apply ophthalmic ointment to protect the eyes. Place a towel in the bottom of the sink or tub to prevent slipping. Be sure the "bathroom" is warm, and that your cat has a warm place in which to dry.

  • Gently set your cat in the tub. Give your cat free rein in the bathtub using minimal restraint, but gently hold on to the back of her neck if she tries to escape.

  • Keep in mind that cats do not like to be restrained; so the less it feels like you are controlling your cat, the better. Speak in soft tones and try to appear calm, since your cat will become more nervous if she senses you are apprehensive. Signs that your cat is anxious include flattening of the ears or whiskers, tail thumping, loud vocalizations, and open mouth panting.

  • Scoop water in a plastic cup, and pour it over the cat until her fur is wet, making sure to avoid her eyes.
  • Use lukewarm water. Cats generally dislike sprays, so it is often better to pour water over the cat rather than spraying. If you must spray, avoid hard sprays and spraying near your cat's face. You may want to wrap your cat in a thin towel and wet the coat through the towel, and then apply the shampoo.
  • If you can't wrap the cat in towel, you could use the cat bag as show below:
    catbag.jpg
  • After shampooing, rinse your cat thoroughly. Rinsing is the most important step. You may need to rinse your cat twice to ensure that all soap is removed from the skin and coat.

  • Dry your cat gently with a towel. "Blotting" is better than rubbing, especially in longhaired breeds. Longhaired breeds will also benefit from an additional brush-out and time under a blow dryer set on a no-heat setting (use only if your cat will tolerate the noise).
  • If your cat absolutely cannot tolerate being wet, try using a waterless or powder shampoo, or pre-moistened bath towelettes for pets. You can also give your cat a "sponge bath" with a damp towel.
  • Remember, starting baths when your cat is still a kitten can help acclimate your cat to being bathed, making future baths faster, easier, and more comfortable for you and your cat.

thnx

:sl: everyone...

Since this thread is all bout kitty's i fort i'd share sum amazing facts about these gorgus animals! :D

1. The cat receives much respect in Islam, because of tales that the Prophet Mohammed was a cat lover. One story says a cat saved Mohammed from being bitten by a deadly snake. In another, when Mohammed’s cat Muezza fell asleep on his sleeve, the Prophet cut off his sleeve rather than disturb his cat.

2. Although a kitten is blind at birth, the touch receptors in the nose are already developed, and touching noses helps a kitten make contact with his mother.

3. During deep sleep, a cat may twitch his whiskers, flex his paws or move his tail. Judging by the amount of electrical activity in the brain, scientists also think cats dream.

4. Cats can judge within three inches the location of a sound being made one yard away. This is an essential skill for a predator who needs to catch a mouse hiding in tall grass.

5. More than 20 muscles in each ear enable a cat to move her ears like radar dishes and pinpoint the source of a sound. The two ears can rotate in different directions, as well.

6. A cat's heart beats about twice as fast as your heart—about 110 to 140 times a minute in the average cat

7. Cats can compress or elongate their spine, making them smaller to sleep in snuggly places or longer to leap across wide open spaces.
8. Pouncing is powered by a cat's thighs. These muscles are so powerful that if you had a cat's thigh muscles, your thighs would be as big as your waist and you could jump from the ground to the top of a house.

9. A domestic cat's sense of smell is about 14 times stronger than a human's.

10. Cats can make more than 100 different vocal sounds. Dogs can make about 10.

11. The largest litter of kittens on record was born to a Siamese-Burmese mother, who had 19 kittens.

12. Cats of all types get more sleep than just about any other animal. They average 16 hours of sleep a day, most of it in short naps that allow the cat to quickly become fully alert.

13. Ailurophilia is the "love of cats."

14. The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.

15. 25% of cat owners blow dry their cats hair after a bath.

16. If your cat is near you, and her tail is quivering, this is the greatest expression of love your cat can give you. If her tail starts thrashing, her mood has changed --- Time to distance yourself from her.

17. Cats wag their tails when it is in a stage of conflict. The cat wants to do two things at once, but each impulse blocks the other. For example: If your cat is in the doorway wanting to go outside, and you open the door to find it raining, the cat's tail will wag because of internal conflict. The cat wants to go outside, but doesn't want to go into the rain. Once the cat makes a decision and either returns to the house or leaves into the rain, the tail will immediately stop wagging.

18. Cats knead with their paws when they're happy.

19. Your cat loves you and can "read" your moods. If you're sad or under stress, you may also notice a difference in your cat's behavior.

20. A cat will amost never "meow" at another cat. This sound is reserved for humans.

21. The more cats are spoken to, the more they will speak to you.

22. A cat that bites you after you have rubbed his stomach, is probably biting out of pleasure, not anger.
