Here you go: Ichthys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ALTHOUGH I did get the wrong letter originally, Psi, but mistakes happens and reminds me I'm not perfect! haha Also shows to make sure your 110% sure you have the right design before they ink it on you....



On topic, as far as I'm aware its totally fine to bathe both kittens and cats as long as you do it properly (correct shampoo, if any, and drying etc).
Hey, each to their own! Mine are fine

Re: Bath time!

I'm sorry but unless you are vastly experienced when it comes to bathing kittens it is a risk to do it. It's not good saying "well mine were fine", the next person to read that might think it's fine for them too ... but it could well not be.

You might find a read on these couple of threads helpful to answer the question 'why not?' ... Bathing kittens and I'm getting a foster kitty :) I take Tje's advice about this over anyones as she has a vast amount of knowledge about these things, and she is more likely to deal with and hear about cases where it has gone wrong.

Plus I have also heard of a case just this year where someone thought it a good idea to bathe a kitten because it had a runny tum and was hot. The kitten died within hours.

At the end of the day the risks outweigh the benefits IMO. The only reason for doing it (other than ringworm) is for your benefit and not your kitten. You don't have to bathe a kitten to clean up after a runny tum, and if your kitten smells ... well that's your issue not theirs. Besides, there are again things you can do without risking your kittens health by bathing.
