Thread: Least stressful way to bath a kitten

If he is in a really bad mess then most probaly trying to do something about it will help, some will accept it no problem & others you might have to be a bit firmer with & face a bit of a struggle hopefully you have the first type,although he might be smelly make sure his nails are cut first less likely to hurt so much if he fires off,if you have a shower then its a lot easier,turn his bottom towards the shower head but try & let him get used to the water coming out before directing it onto him & then go for it,once wet use any shampoo you might have to hand but make sure you rinse out well afterwards,you could if not try standing him back legs in a sink with front legs on side & wash him down that way,it is a lot easier if there are two of you so one can help hold but as silly as it might sound the holder needs to be ready in case babe flips but doesn't want to hold him tightly from the start,that seems to upset them more than just having someone there in case but they do like someone making a fuss at the head end & telling them how good they are,good luck hope you can succeed & you soon have a nicer smelling furry to cuddle again....oh forgot to say have plenty of towels handy for all of you....x
