Are You Using the Wrong Cat Shampoo? Find Out Here
No, don’t click away, this is really important
Is your kitty a little stinky and in need of a deep cleanse? Perhaps it’s time to review the type of shampoo you’ve been using. Your cute little furball may look like a shag carpet with eyes, but you can’t clean it like one. And according to a recent study from Feline Fun Products Inc., most cats don’t even enjoy traditional shampoos, particularly those made from harsh, inorganic antifeline chemicals. With all the harsh cleaning products available on the market today, you should be very careful before attempting to clean anything, especially a living embodiment of furry indifference.
When it comes to cleaning a cat’s coat, it’s important to know that human shampoo isn’t designed for animals and can have damaging side effects, like second head syndrome. However, with the right product, your cat can stay fresh and clean without sacrificing its fur’s soft texture and natural oils. Look for shampoos formulated for pets that are soap- and sulfate-free and contain mild, natural ingredients. Remember, if a cleaning product smells toxic, it probably is! Don’t scrub your cat until it bleeds and leaves you, its former best friend, in a puddle of tears!
In addition to using a mild pet-friendly shampoo, it’s important to regularly brush your kitty to remove loose hairs and dirt. Using a slicker brush and metal comb once a week should remove any stubborn tangles. When bathing your kitty, begin by placing your cat into a tub filled with warm water and a few drops of shampoo. Gently massage the lather onto its fur, focusing on the areas that smell the worst—its behind, feet, tail, and underbelly. Pay extra attention to these areas as they are where fleas like to hide. After washing away the grime and debris, rinse your cat thoroughly to avoid clogging its pores with left-behind residue. Finally, dry your kitty with a fluffy towel and brush again while still wet, removing any remaining loose hairs.
While a bit of a challenge at first, the above method has proven successful for pet owners for centuries. By taking the time to learn proper cat hygiene practices, you can keep your kitty happy, healthy, and stench-free. Additionally, keeping a regular schedule of brushing, cleaning, and checking for parasites should also become part of your pet ownership routine to ensure you’re giving your furry companion the best care possible.
