She's pretty old and weaker and was kind of in shock so she didn't put up as much as a struggle as I expected. I also made sure her claws were trimmed. It's really important to thoroughly rinse the shampoo away though, because what might seem like a little amount of shampoo is alot to such a small creature and could cause harm when they ingest it.
I washed my cat tonight for the first time ever. I have a tub/shower with glass doors so I got nekkid, started the shower (on the quietest, gentlist setting at a warm temp), snatched her up while she was dozing, ran into the tub and closed the doors. She was all frantic and everything about being trapped but I was right in there with her and maintaining eye contact with her and talking to her in a soothing voice throughout, so she didn't start yowling until I spent a few minutes rinsing her off.
NEVER, EVER use a people shampoo (even baby shampoo) for a cat!!! Cats are very sensitive & using such toxic chemicals is abuse. The best way to give your cat a bath is to use a hand-held sprayer with warm water. NEVER hold an adult cat by the scruff!! Cats are much more sensitive than people & you scared the hell out of him. Great job parenting. Next time, think about your cat first. If he smells, you're probably feeding him crap from the grocery store. Stop scaring your poor cat!!!!!!!!
you can hold a cat by the scruff of its neck but don't carry him by his skin at his hind - it will hurt! You are lucky he took it well. Both my cats would have scratched your arms off. We do it in a large shower with buckets of warm water ready as they hate the shower head and it's easier and quicker to use large jugs full. We strip down as we always get soaked and wear gardening gloves. They scream like hell but a bowl of their favourite food in front of the fire usually helps:)
You did good for your first time, same for the cat. Scruffing is a very useful tool in washing cats, especially when you have to wash an older cat. Next time try a few inches of water and apply the soap directly to the cat. Then run the tap and rinse him under it.It may make things easier.
Amazing how these cute little creatures turn into demons as soon as water is introduced. Personally I wash my cat dressed like a Michelin Man to preserve my skin. Top tip. Once you have the critter by the neck scruff DO NOT LET GO! I did once, now my curtains are in tatters!
my cat is a manx and doesnt do anything in water becuz we got him from a shelter and he used to since he was a baby becuz he used to have fleas so yea some cats can get used to it
At your "success" it sounds like you said "sucks ass". Either way, good work with your washing "machine". I was planning on giving my cat a bath, but wasn't sure how. Your video was the best idea I found on youtube. Thanks!!!
LOL..this is a very good kitty esp if she never had a bath before-and to those that think you never have to bathe them,NOT TRUE-gawdforbid a flea outbreak -not all of us put chemicals on them--you wash them and washing them keeps them healthy ,keeps the fur clean so they're NOT ingesting whatever they're exposed to from grooming themselves all the time and prevents hairballs because loose hair gets washed off-best to start the routine when their babies,then they're used to it-&it's not so bad.

Retard.
Cats can wash themselves. Oh, and by the way... You idiot should not grab an adult cat's neck. Why? If you really need to ask this, then you better live without pets.
success but the puttycat was not bathe and rinsed thoroughly. the tub is the best place for the chore or bettter is let that putty take a shower with you.
I never get scratched by my cat when i bath her, probably cause I hold both her front paws in one hand as I use the other hand to lather her up with soap/rinse/dry. And I do it in the tub so there's less splashing.
man cat baths are cruel 2 watch lol. cuz most cats hate water -_-" such a hard task.. ur lucky ur cat is calm.. my cat is a animal he would like bite my arms off and id bleed 2 death. LOL
Aw, you poor thing. You feared for your life.Congratulations on your first sucessful kitty washing. And no trip to the emergency rooms or questions about why you slit your wrist in the water. . . Nobody ever believes that it happened while bathing the cat. "No really nurse, I was bathing the cat, I don't need therapy"
Heres a tip, its called a nape, and when theyre kittens they get picked up by that, if you hold a cat correctly by that they will relax. Its a very thick and tough part of the animals pelt and it very durable. Dont know about the back but it was only for a couple seconds.
didnt like the way u picked your cat up, by the back and the neck, but it seemed to work ok:P you could hear him screaming as you were bringing him in, lol
I've never thought to do that. Usually when we wash our cats, it turns into a family event. Most of us hold on to some part of the cat while someone washes and rinses. We had this cat one named Worf. He was something else. Normally our cats would give up after a bit of struggling but Worf was a very strong cat and wouldn't give up. Many times he'd fight so hard that he'd escape and hide under the bed where we'd leave him because he bites really hard and we've had to get stitches before from him

CATS ARE INDEPENDENT, NOT LIKE DOGS! U HAVE TO BATH DOGS! CUZ ... UMMMM.... I dont know y they cnat clean themself but still! DONT WASH CATS BY HAND!!!
Definitely don't wash cats by hand. They're much more suited to machine washing, preferably in a commercial sized machine, such as those found at a laundromat.
Lol....I Wash My Kitty Rolex In My Mommys Tub im Pretty Good At Washing Him Because He Doesnt Complain or meow........Unlike Your kitty Because You kitty looks very strong
@tolip0 that is actually THE way to hold them without hurting. That is exactly how mom cats carry their babies. Instinctively cats calm down when being held like that. ;)
ya.. that baby wash is not good. lavender flavored too... good smell to you, bad for cat cat who'll be eating the remainder of it as he tries to undo the mess you made.
:3 looks like you missed both ends: head and butt butt
i used the tup when i had to give my cat a bath and he ran in a cirle so fast around the tub, he was running on the walls a little bit. this is great to do so they cant get away. 5/5
Well Done its a pain washing cats and when the stink you have to do it. When i cleaned one of my cats i had to dry her with a towel and blow dryer... Yet she still smelled after wards cause water and cat hair isn't a good combo. I stuck her in front of the heater with the other cats... and they licked her to get extra clean.
small tip, get a cat harness to make it easier to hold on to him. had to do it when i had to wash 10 cats in one day, lot easier, had a few devil cats
