?Shampoo


I recently ordered a stock of shampoo's for my dogs and on most of them was said 'can be used on cats'!
Do any of you shampoo your cats? I must admit, I have had cats since childhood (I am now 38 ) and have never bathed (or needed to) any of my cats!
Do any of you regularly shampoo or bath you cats?
PS. I have short haired moggies not show cats.

Re: ?Shampoo


No never.
One cat who fell into ? motor oil? had to be cleaned at the vet, that's all.
I believe show cats have to be bathed though (poor things!)

Re: ?Shampoo


I have bathed 2 of my persians; usually as a result of claggy waggys Do check the ingredients and make sure there's no tea tree oil in the shampoo - that can be very toxic to cats.

Re: ?Shampoo


I was just interested!
Most of the bottles said 'suitable for cats'. I realised show cats were probably bathed, but just wondered if anyone else did it on a regular basis!

Re: ?Shampoo


I think I value my skin too much to try and shampoo them!!!
They dont really need it as they keep themselves clean!
