CATDOLL : Can cats take a bath in winter?

Cats can take a bath in winter. Winter is cold, so you can reduce the frequency of bathing cats. It is best to bathe cats on a sunny afternoon. You can turn on the air conditioner and adjust the indoor temperature to above 20 degrees before bathing the cat. The water temperature should be around 39 degrees. After bathing the cat, you need to blow dry the cat's hair in time. After drying, you can let the cat bask in the sun and let it tidy up its hair. In winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm, enhance nutrition, improve immunity, and prevent cats from catching colds.

Things to note when bathing your cat:

1. When bathing a cat, just wipe its head with a wet towel. Because cats' eyes, ears, and noses are all relatively sensitive, water in the ears can easily cause otitis, water in the nose can easily cause choking, and shower gel in the eyes can easily cause conjunctivitis and keratitis in cats.

2. Don’t bathe your cat too often. The elasticity of your cat’s skin and the luster of its fur are maintained by sebum. Bathing your cat too often will cause a large amount of sebum to be lost, resulting in reduced skin elasticity, making it more susceptible to skin diseases, and causing its fur to become rough and easy to break.

3. Be careful not to let the cat lick the shower gel and bath water to prevent the cat from accidentally ingesting and being poisoned. After using the shower gel, rinse twice more to rinse the shower gel off the cat.
