Hiya

With Jinxy being a little kitten, i have not bathed him, (he did fall in the bath once, while on my shoulders, and me bathing my youngest, but it was a shallow bath (thank god!) and i managed to get him out ok with just his paws wet.

Jinxy has something on his coat, something sticky. And i have been putting a bit of water on it, and trying to take it off his coat when he allows me, it is not bothering him, but he seems to miss that bit when cleaning himself lol

i was going to try and give him a bath. But is it better to just have plain water or is there a cat shampoo or something that is better?

Well, you could always try it with a small amount of water first. Or, just use the dry shampoo midnight recomend

Thanks very much everyone I just looked at the wipes i have, they are scented lol!
I will see about getting the dry shampoo for Jinxy tomorrow, as i will be at P&H then.
I will use a wet flannel tonight and see how it goes, he is snoozing at the moment so will try later

Thanks again xx

We've got a flea shampoo made by Johnsons (we use the spot-ons for the full treatment), which you mix with water & then give them a bath (guess its like bathing a baby but i've got no experience of that). NB we don't actually put any water into the bath itself, just onto them.

Patch doesn't seem to mind the whole bath thing - we have more fun & games trying to get him in there. Lucky doesn't mind it. Def a 2 person job though, one to hold down & one to bath.

Thanks for that glad to hear Patch is quite good with the bath lol!

Jinxy is so interested in the bath, even after falling in it. anytime i am bathing the kids, he runs and climbs up my back peering in lol!!
