I. Reasons why cats can’t bathe frequently
The frequency of bathing cats should not be too high , mainly because the cat’s skin usually secretes a layer of oil, this layer of oil can play a role in protecting the cat’s skin. However, if the cat is bathed frequently, it will easily affect the normal secretion of the cat’s skin oil, and it is also more likely to cause the cat’s skin inflammation, which increases the risk of cat skin diseases. Therefore, it is not acceptable to bathe the cat frequently. If the pet cat is usually kept indoors and the body is not dirty, it does not matter if the cat is bathed once every two or three months. In addition, pet owners also need to pay attention to: Do not bathe the cat during the vaccination period. You should only consider bathing your cat 7 days after vaccination to prevent the impact and lead to immune failure.
Second, how to make cats cooperate with bathing
Most cats are I hate bathing very much because cats are naturally afraid of water. At first, most of the ancestors of cats lived in arid areas and had little access to water. Even after long-term evolution, cats still retained the habit of not adapting to water. But this cannot be generalized. In fact, there are also a small number of cats who are not afraid of water. So for cats who refuse to take a bath, how can they make cats obediently cooperate with bathing? The pet owner can do the following:
1. After the bath water is ready, the pet owner can use food or toys in the bathroom to lure the cat into the water, and slowly let the cat get used to the bath.
2. The pet owner should be as gentle as possible when bathing the cat. At the same time, during the bathing process, he should continue to use a soft tone to soothe the cat and stroke its fur to relieve the cat’s nervousness.
Be careful not to make the cat feel impatient during the bath. The pet owner provides the cat with some toys that it likes during the bath to divert the cat’s attention. Of course, the bathing time should not be too long, and a quick solution should be made under the premise of ensuring cleanliness.
Warm reminder: I believe that all pet owners like to keep their cats clean and beautiful. It is best to clean the breeding environment frequently, help the cat to comb the hair more, and remove the stains on the cat’s hair in time. This is the key to keeping the cat clean and tidy. After all, the cat is very easy to catch a cold in the process of bathing.
