Yes, cat shampoo. You can find it at any Walmart or drugstore. Good luck bathing your cat, though; you should also pick up some bandages while you're at the store.

I wouldn't recommend it. Cat's skin is much different than human skin, and people shampoo could hurt them. You can easily pick up cat/pet shampoo in the pet area of most any store.

How do cats get clean?

most of the time you can just fill bath or sink with warm water and use cat shampoo and i mostly put some flea drops on mine after i clean and brushed them it helps a lot too... but if you don't want to do that you can by this special leave in conditioner and shampoo for cats and dogs but most stores don't sell it.. i hope this helped :) I have a cat, ( my username ) and I use no- water shampoo, cats do not like water, so it is not a hassle and smells great. Usually, I just leave it to him to clean himself with his tongue! No- water shampoo is available at pet stores and vet offices.


Can humans die if they swallow a drop of cat shampoo?

I don't think that you need to worry, cats lick themselves so a shampoo developed for cats should not be harmful if ingested. However, the shampoo bottle should tell you if it is harmful to humans and if so tell you what to do if you swallow any....it is always a good idea to read the instructions and warnings on bottles!
