Title: Cleaning a cat without a bath?
Post by: grittykitties on February 19, 2011, 18:22:15 PM

Hey guys  :)

Neither of my boys accept water on their fur, so bathing them is not an option in our home.
This is kind of a problem, as they actually get quite dirty sometimes (even though they are indoor cats).
Sometimes they decide to "repot" my plants, and sometimes they are not always in total control, when peeing in the litter box, and get some on the tummy.

So, I want to be able to clean their smelly or dirty fur.
Baths are as said, not an option. I tried, and the react very very VERY bad on it, being sure of sudden death.

Would it be an option with some wipes of some kind?
Do any of you have experience with that?

And also, please, do you know of a British internet shop who sells them in that case? (I'll import them)

Thanks  :thanks:

I used Baby wipes on my Devons and on orphaned kittens just be sure to use fragrance free.

I've seen wipes in the supermarket and Pets at Home too I'm sure.
