How to give your cat a quiet bath

1. Be sure to trim your cat's nails and sharpen its claws before bathing to avoid serious scratches during bathing. Secondly, if your cat bites people, it is best to prepare an Elizabethan collar to prevent your cat from biting you.

2. Prepare special shampoo for cats, the cat’s favorite snacks, a blanket that can cover the cat’s whole body, and a silent hair dryer. If conditions permit, you can also prepare a special cage for bathing to prevent the cat from running around.

3. Put the cat in an open area in the bathroom. Never put the cat in a basin. The small space will make the cat very nervous. Then prepare a shower and turn up the water temperature. This is because the body temperature of a cat is higher than that of a human. If the temperature is low, the cat will easily catch a cold.

4. Be careful not to let water enter the ears and nose, because water in these two places will make the cat very uncomfortable and resist taking a bath. If the ears are too dirty, you can use ear cleanser to clean them separately later. If the head is dirty, you can use a wet towel to wipe it.

5. If the cat struggles during the bath, you can grab the nape of the cat with one hand to calm it down first, then scratch its head and chin to calm it down. Generally, cats struggle violently because water has entered their noses. Be careful not to let too much water splash onto the cat's face.

6. Blow dry the cat's hair after washing. After washing the cat, be sure to wipe off the water droplets on the cat's body with a large blanket and blow dry the hair in time to prevent the cat from catching a cold.
