Your cat might not be excited to read this.
. But baths? That's another story. One thing that many cats seem to be known for is their intense dislike of water, making kitty bath time virtually impossible. But a better question may be, do cats even need baths? Do we even have to go through the whole runaround of trying to wrestle our cat into the tub or sink, or is the grooming they do on their own enough? To help get some insight on this, POPSUGAR spoke to an expert to learn more.
in Middle Village, NY, cats do not typically need to be bathed regularly."Cats are very good at bathing themselves through their constant grooming, for example, tongue baths," said Dr. McCarthy,"In addition, many cats have an aversion to water — so like oil and vinegar, cats and water don't mix well."
However, he does point out that sometimes cats may need a bath for certain reasons, such as removing fleas and treating skin infections. In these cases, Dr. McCarthy recommended washing your furry friend in your bathtub and using a shampoo that is specialized in treating that specific condition."If possible, place a slanted window screen in the tub, as this will give your kitty some secure footing and help them stay put, but allow water to pass through easily," Dr. McCarthy said.
