Cats generally keep themselves clean by grooming. However should a cat have a toxic substance on its fur it is important to bath the cat rather than risk the cat ingesting the substance. The person bathing the cat needs to dress so as to avoid being scratched. The cat will feel safer in the bath if there is a rubber mat or towel on the base. After putting four or five inches of water in the bath, hold the cat in the water and wash the cat with a washcloth and animal shampoo.
The same way you give a dog a bath... with water, shampoo, soap, etc. But the soap needs to be designed for cats. I'd do it quickly though. They always try to jump out of the tub.
with a good old fasion bath
you can give cats baths by just putting them in a bathroom sink and just put cat shampoo on them and give them a bath but be careful because cats don't like baths but only give cats baths when needed.CATS are really good at giving themselves a bath.
Cats clean themselves. Giving them a bath once in a long while shouldn't physically hurt them in any way, but could hurt your relationship with your cat (because of their dislike of water). Flea baths are fine if your cat has fleas, and if your cat gets into something nasty (rotten eggs, dead animals, etc.) then a bath would be fine. But you should really leave simple dirt cleaning up to the cat. They have a comb built into their tongue for a reason : )
Gently hold your cat by the scruff of the neck, it's very hard to hurt the cat this way as this is how the mother cat carries her kittens. Slowly and while talking gently run the warm water (make sure it's not to hot or cold) and slowly use your hand to run water over your cat. Give the cat time to get used to the feel of the water and then continue with the bath
Picking up a cat by the scruff can cause discomfort or pain for the cat, especially if done incorrectly or if the cat is too heavy. It is not recommended as a regular way to handle a cat.
Hitting a cat can cause physical harm, emotional distress, and damage to the bond between you and your pet. It is not a recommended or acceptable way to discipline or interact with a cat.
Give them fresh water.
One way to get the cat to come up to you is give it a treat.
It's always best to consult with a veterinarian before giving any medication to a cat. Vitamin C is not typically recommended for treating a cat's cold, as they are usually unable to synthesize it in the same way humans can. Your vet may recommend other treatments or medications to help your cat recover from a cold.
It is not recommended to remove a blackhead from your cat's nipple on your own. It is best to consult a veterinarian for proper and safe removal to avoid any potential harm to your cat.
there is no way to know exactly how old you cat is but if you take it toa vet they can give you an estimante
