How To Bath A Cat

4. Step 1
Trim your cat’s claws
 Giving your kitty treats as a
reward for getting his nails
trimmed will always make him
feel better and calmer.

5. Step 2
Brush your cat
 Sometimes you can even brush
your cat as a way to distract him
enough to allow his nails to be
trimmed. This is a great way of
killing two birds with one stone,
but you'll need another person to
help you.

6. Step 3 Step 4
 Get the right cat
shampoo.
 Put some cat toys in the
empty tub. Place your cat
in it and play for a few
minutes. Then stop and
add a little water before
playing again.
 Make your cat want
to bathe.
 Put some cat toys in the
empty tub. Place your cat
in it and play for a few
minutes. Then stop and
add a little water before
playing again.

7. Step 5 Step 6
 Close the bathroom
door.
 If your cat has never been
in the bathroom before,
you might want to get him
used to the area. Also, if
the bathroom has a toilet,
keep the toilet seat down
at all times. Your cat
might jump into the toilet
in a complete panic!
 Make the tub secure.
 Lay down a rubber mat or
towel in the tub so your kitty
doesn't slip and has more
comfortable footing.
 You can also place a small
cooling rack or oven rack in
the tub to give the cat
something to hold on to. This
reduces the chance of you
being scratched and makes
the cat feel more secure.

8. Step 7 Step 8
 Set the Tub
 Fill the tub with a few
inches of warm, not hot,
water before bringing your
cat into the bathroom,
since some cats can be
unnerved by running
water.
 Wear Protective
Clothing
 This will keep you safe
from any possible
scratches, minor or major.
A jumper, sweater, or
long-sleeved shirt should
be worn so that your cat
has no bare skin to
scratch.

9. Step 9 Step 10
 Maintain Control of
Your Cat
 Talk to your cat in a calm,
quiet voice while washing.
 Proceed to wash Cat
 Use a little bit of shampoo and
water to wash your cat's neck,
body, legs, belly, and tail. Start
at the neck and work toward
his tail, in the direction of the
growth of his fur.
 Wash the cat in a massaging
motion, so he feels soothed,
not scared. Act like you're just
petting and grooming your cat
and that this trip to the
bathtub is nothing special.
