well you can bathe baby kittens i meen it cant really hert the cat, and even though they bathe themselves they dont always get the germs, such as those nastey pieces of kitten poop or littter between those paws you never no if its really clean. so yes u can bathe a kitten. it pretty much depends on the cat alot of people do bathe cats and some people dont, it just depends. No, you should never bathe kittens, leave that to the mother cat to do cats unlike dogs cannot swim.
ANSWER
NO , if you do this most animals can possibly reject their baby, and either kill it or not feed it and then it will die , the baby's have their mothers scent on them and this is what they recognize, if you wash it the scent will fade, it may not recognize it as its baby.
if its totally unavoidable then wash it but you should wipe it in something that smells of its mother after and im not sure if that actually will work so again, dont just do it because you want to.
when they are older its fine, to wash them, preferably over 7 months old.

It's not a nice ordeal, but the only way is by holding them by the scruff off there neck. The best idea is to just shower them and wash them with a flea shampoo.
ANNNGGGG!! Wrong. (sort of)
Don't use a shower. It'll freak the cat out because they have an instinct not to drown and water pouring down on them in quantity sets of the panic response... If you have a tub, get in the tub, hold the kitten on your legs as you sit in the bath with a towel over your legs. allow the kitten to be submerged to the neck to wet, shampoo with a mild flea shampoo or a flea shampoo mixed with normal shampoo (ratio 50/50) as kittens are sensitive (yes like babies). To wash the head and neck, cup water on the head and neck to wet careful to keep it out of their nose and mouth then lather them up, again, nose and eyes.
This should get all the fleas! Towel them off gently and you'll have a happy kitten in a few hours! As a side note, this is incredibly bonding to the kitten. Good luck!
Most package directions will give a set time in order for the treatment to set. It can vary, so read the package directions. The one I use recommends bathing first, then treatment.
One home remedy that I have used successfully is a simple flea comb. A flea will drown in soapy water. The method involves a glass of soapy water, a small flea comb, and grooming your pet. Simply comb the animal, put the comb(with fleas) in the glass, swish, and continue. It does not harm the cat and fleas are physically removed.
yeah, every time i take a shower my kitty jumps in and freaks out kinda but she get all clean (:
any time ur cat is dirty or u suspect it has flees
yes it is safe
You can bathe him/her once a week,and try a flea collar.
i bathed a kitten once in my life.You can bath a kitten but they do not like it.
Shouldn't be needed. they hate water & bathe themselves.
No, it's not wise to bathe a pregnant dog in flea dip
bathe them or get them fixed
No, the kitten is to young still. The instructions on the flea medicine box should give you directions and usage for that product. A 8 week old kitten is too young for flea medicine and also too young for a bath with flea soap
Fleas move, hives don't.
sounds like flea droppings bathe in flea shampoo wash really good there but gentley
This usually means there is a flea bed on that spot bathe the dog with good flea shampoo and it should go away.
You can bathe them in dog flea shampoo or dust their undersides with Sevin (the kind you use in the garden).
My sister's dog reacted to a flea medication and the Vet told her to bathe him twice with a good dish soap like Dawn. It worked.
It wouldn't be the best idea. Your kitten may get an allergy from it. Visit your local pet store and inquire what shampoo would suit best
