If you have tried giving your cat a bath, you probably know how stressful it is. It can be stressful because your cat might put up a fight and you might end up with scratches and bites here and there.

There are ways for you to make bath times less stressful. Here are some of the things that can help:

1. Make sure you cut those sharp claws first

Reduce the damage as much as you can so start with trimming your cat’s nails. You can take your cat to a vet clinic in Kamloops for grooming. Your vet can also give additional tips on how to give baths to your act at home.

2. Wait until your cat is calm

Which hours of the day is your cat the calmest? Use that opportunity to give your cat a bath. Don’t schedule it after playtime because that is when your cat might be more active and more likely to resist getting a bath.

You can also calm your cat down by brushing his or her hair. That will also make it easier to clean your cat.

3. Use a mat

Cats can panic when they stand on slippery surfaces. Use a mat to provide traction and keep them in place.

It’s also important to know which areas of their body they are most sensitive to. That way, you can avoid these areas or put less pressure on them when giving your cat a bath.

If these tricks didn’t work, you can take your cat to a Kamloops vet clinic like The Cat Hospital of Kamloops to find out if your cat has behavioral issues that you need to address.
