But they sometimes get especially dirty, get bombarded by fleas or ticks, or get into substances that are toxic or otherwise harmful. On such occasions, it is a good idea to bathe your cat. Here’s how to keep your feline fresh and lovely as painlessly as possible.

1) Decide whether your cat really needs a bath. There may be other ways to clean your cat, such as brushing the cat, combing or even rubbing down with a cloth.

2) Wear appropriate clothing. Not only is it important to wash your cat but it is important to be safe from any possible scratches, major or minor. A jumper or a long-sleeved shirt must be worn so that your cat has no bare skin to scratch, and it is a good idea to wear clothing that isn’t new.

3) Get at least two people involved.

4) Trim all nails.

5) Put a rubber mat in the tub or use a towel.

6) Have shampoo and a small wash cloth ready.
