Siberians and triple coated


Now I want to see a picture too!

But why on earth would a cat need a bath, unless a skunk sprayed on her?

Cat slide...

But why on earth would a cat need a bath, unless a skunk sprayed on her?

Well.. I am a former dog and cat groomer, soooo. Okay, first of all, cat’s don’t really give themselves a bath. (Yes I am aware that Jackson Galaxy does not agree with me and he can go suck eggs lol).

Cats have to live with us, therefore we have to help them sometimes. If a cat is missing teeth, grooming is going to be difficult for them. As they get older, they also don’t groom as well, so best to teach your cat to accept baths and brushing frequently or as an old cat the process will be stressful.

Bathing and brushing gets rid of extra hair and undercoat. Less hair and undercoat, less hairballs.

It’s really good for their coat and skin and they just look oh so lovely after a bath. I bathe my cats at least every 4-6 weeks. Nails are done every 2-3 weeks.

I agree w Petty re cat baths.

Suggestion. Don’t take a bath or shower for 6 month. Just lick yourself during day occasionally. Tell us how you feel? (Oh and don’t ash your hair(fur?).

Cats - They feel better. They KNOW they look better. But they ARE catS n might just throw a hissy fit. I raised n showed perigee Persians. They were bathed n heavily groomed weekly -they loved it. Most would start purring before the water hit them. Do you like massages? I do. They did. Part of bath is massaging. Heaven. I have no idea about rabbit or bird grooming but dog n cat grooming is very good for them when done properly
