CATDOLL : At what age can a cat be bathed?

Cats can be bathed after they are 3 months old and have received all vaccinations. Cats younger than 3 months old are too young to resist infection and are prone to catching colds when bathing. After 3 months, cats are generally healthy and will not have any problems if they are bathed with care. In winter, you should turn on the heating when bathing cats, and the bathing time should not be too long. After the bath, wipe the cat's body with a towel and use a hair dryer to dry the cat's fur.

Things to note when bathing your cat:

1. Since most cats are very resistant to bathing, you should first cut their nails or prepare a cat bag to avoid scratches.

2. The temperature of the cat's bath water should be controlled at 38 degrees as much as possible, and try not to be higher than 40 degrees. Water temperature that is too high may cause the cat to be scalded or stressed, while water temperature that is too low may easily cause the cat to catch a cold.

3. When bathing your cat, be careful not to pour water directly on the head to avoid water and foam getting into the cat's eyes and ears. Generally, a cat's head only needs to be wiped with a wet wipe.

4. Before bathing, comb the cat's hair all over its body with a comb to remove excess loose hair.
