One of my cats had flees once and I gave him medicine so the flees died but I had to bathe him to get rid of the dead flees.

yeah 100% always put a towel under the cat when youre bathing them. it gives them something to grip onto and thats way more comfortable than a plain sink
@•*{SpringChicken}*• their tips arent even tips lol, its complete misinformation. Cats ARE afraid of water, or to be more precise, the feeling of water hitting their fur, and no zoologist ever has ever said otherwise. Their fear has nothing to do with the environment, they dont care where the water comes from, bucket, sink, shower or bath, they just dont like the water.
if they wanted to make an actually helpful video, they couldve covered how to properly condition a cat to water using positive reinforcement if you have an adult cat who has little to no experience being bathed and is showing fearful behaviors, doing it in the sink vs bath vs shower is likely not going to make a big difference. you need to focus on their fear response to the water as an unfamiliar stimuli
What a dumb fucking comment. Imagine someone 10x bigger deciding whether or not he feeds you and keep you alive. Must be a beautiful feeling. See the irony dumbass?
Imagine that same person is someone you’ve lived with for years, you’ve cuddled for years, and someone who you’ve trusted for years… It’s not just some random giant washing them, it’s their family.
I've had to wash my cat two times. The first time she looked at me like I was trying to murder her. The second time it wasn't a whole lot better. There's got to be a real good reason to wash my cat.
Once my roommate went on vacation for 2 weeks and about a week into it, her cat got so depressed that she climbed into the bath tub and peed in herself then just laid down in it without even trying to clean herself. The cat got a bath. Now the cat follows me around any chance she can.
The only reason for the only time my mom did bathe our one of our cats (we’ve had a few through the years. Never more than one at a time. I say ‘one of’ bc i don’t remember which, I think it was our current one that we’ve had longest-) was ticks/fleas. Wash them fuckers out. Otherwise, we let her bathe herself. uwu
In general, a healthy adult cat doesn't require bathing unless he or she has gotten into something that has coated the fur and can't be easily removed with brushing, Cats groom themselves naturally, however their owners should help keep them clean by brushing or combing them regularly. Their fur gets matted and cold whilst bathing, therefore not necessary.
@@heilmadon I've owned cats for over 30 years and have never given a cat a flea bath. The only flea treatment my cats ever got was a topical solution from the veterinarian. Cats don't need baths

I feel like if anybody does decide to bathe their cat, they should limit doing it only a slight few times a month or two. Like you said, cats usually clean themselves, cats also have very absorbent fur
@@olderalt.4066 exactly. Of course there are cases where some cats cannot or choose not to clean themselves (rare cases and usually medical reasons) and of course then the cat will need to be bathed but if that's not the case and your vet doesn't say the cat needs extra cleaning then simple brushing works wonders for cats cleanliness and hygiene.
@@olderalt.4066 Bathing a cat monthly that does not have any medical or physical conditions is way too much. Cats only need to be bathed if they get into something that gets stuck in their fur that's not safe for them to clean themselves.
Are we forgetting that cats wash themselves like every 5 minutes? You should only bathe a cat yourself if they have flees or ticks that you need to wash out, or are old and refuse to bathe themselves. To prevent furballs just brush their fur. It's not that hard.
Mine needed baths for some skin problems for a few months. She wasn't that bad about it. Now I just wash her butt when she gets poop stuck to her fur and obviously tries to get it off by rubbing on the floor smushed it into the tail more. She doesn't want to clean that but she will fight me like it's death for trying to wash it for her. There's no winning .
I have a cat who has the same problem, terrified of running water. I sink bathe him in the kitchen bc the sink has two sides, one sides was soapy water and the other has clean water. He does great as long as he don't hear the water come on.
when cats were wild water would weigh them down, making it harder to escape from predators. their fur would cling to their skin making it uncomfortable, like wet socks. cats love warmth, and water gets cold easily which makes them cold. thats why they dont like water.
I've never had a cat that smells. They always actually smell really nice. They don't need baths unless they can't clean themselves for some health reasons. They're not like dogs. They'll be fine lol
Dogs don't need showers as well. I have dogs since i am 7 years old. the only time we had to wash any of my dogs were when they smelled is like maybe once or twice a year. you can just let dirt dry and brush it out. also don't do it in a bathtube or shower. if you have a garden or any other place outside you can use buckets/ bowls of warm water. ALWAYS CHECK THE TEMPERATURE . DO NOT USE NORMAL SHAMPOO. get a dog shampoo. also if it's hot outside they like it even more to cool down. If you have a puppy. get them used to it early on. please don't do it in the shower. use a small bucket or bowl. don't put water over their face. don't force them. and reward them if they enjoy it
“If that doesn’t work, put him in the shower” So in other words, completely disregard the whole trying to get the cat comfortable thing and trap them so they can’t escape 😂 ETA: this is to point out the hypocrisy, not to actually laugh at a cat being trapped and forced to take a bath.
@@Sophie-dd5xr I assumed you were making a bad joke. If you were trying to point out that exact point, I personally believe you could have worded it better. I apologize for what I said and shall delete the comment. Have a nice day.
Trap yourself with flying, speedy, razor deathclaws while you are at it. Better be on the other side of the shower blasting your cat with a shower head like scientists touching chemicles and viruses in a small box.
@@sillydiscord6835 How exactly could it have been worded better? It wasn’t exactly a joke. It’s a blunt approach to what they did in the video. They legit spent most of the time talking about the cat’s comfort (which is important) and then completely disregarded their whole message by basically saying “if all else fails, you can always put the cat in the shower and shut them in while you spray them with a detachable faucet head.” That’s legit what they showed in the clip if I remember correctly which makes it even worse. Yes I am blunt, but I think I rightfully called them out on that in my blunt words.
I just put on my swim suit and get in the tub with them. I’ve done this with every cat I’ve ever bathed. It’s works well to comfort them and it’s much easier to keep them where you want them. Just have everything you need ready and nearby. I’ve even done this with stray cats that needed some love. They really do stay much calmer.
My cat wasn't afraid of the water, he was afraid of drowning. He was scared being in the tub by himself, but if I was in there with him, he'd be okay. When we got older I couldn't bathe with him anymore, but I'd still keep my hands on him and soothe him so he knows he wasn't gonna drown. Maybe other babies are afraid of that too
Also cats don’t need bathed on a regular basis. They are very good at keeping themselves clean, and have ways of removing bad smells from their own fur. They only need bathed on certain occasions such as, something sticky or toxic on their fur, fleas with flea shampoo, they can no longer or refuse to clean themselves (usually caused by physical or mental health issues). Bathed don’t hurt them (as long as your doing it right) but they don’t usually need them.
@@tabbi888 Fleas can gain immunity. In fact, that's why every few years they HAVE to create a new formula. Doesn't change the fact your cats can still get fleas and get dirty because of them.
I’ve only washed my cat once and that was when she came home during a sudden downpour, covered in mud. You don’t need to wash them, but you might want to sometimes if they’re outdoors cats. It also helps with allergies Edit: my cat is only 1.5 years old and I might wash her more in the future if needed lol for now she’s terrified of shower heads but loves playing with water otherwise. The bit about allergies is especially for people who are allergic to cats. In most cases they’re allergic to the cats’ saliva, not the fur itself. Washing the saliva off the cat’s fur once in a while could help with mild cat allergies
Fleas and on occasion your will have done something stupid like fall in the dirty fish tank or dump a pot of spaghetti sauce on themselves trying to jump on the counter. Also Toms (most of the time) do not groom as well as Molly/Queens, they can get dirt build up very quickly, stud tail (cat acne/blackheads) is common for Toms and long haired cats, it's very uncomfortable and the only way to get rid of it is to wash them with special soap. Long haired cats have problems grooming their backside.
Who’s washing their cat all the time?? At least once a year a bath is good for a cat! Plus when they get old they stop grooming as much meaning you’ll need to bathe them anyways
Some cats don’t groom themselves if they were separated from their mother too early. My cat was a stray kitten, he doesn’t really groom himself. Also, he loves to roll in the dirt when we let him outside. We always watch him closely whenever he’s out but he finds a way to sneak and do it lol.
they are skilled swimmers, what's new to me is that a majority of cats is supposed to freely choose contact with water under the right circumstances. that sounds made up to me.
@@justrad7637 Not every cat panics from mere contact with water. But even if they did, that doesn't mean they cannot swim. Cats can instinctually swim.
@@TertiusIII ye but most do It does as they never even toutch it , if they are to scared to toutch it means they arent able to swim Same as if u are to scared to get in a car , untill u arent Ur not able to drive it even if u took tests and passed em
Exactly, water only damages their natural furr and their own saliva is the best option as it gives a natural, clean, fluffy, shiny and healthy furr and skin.
@@temp3462 they should only be washed in extreme conditions, such as flea infestations or fecal matter matting thier fur, Cats do not need to be bathed on the regular. Sure my cat loves taking a shower with us but he will bring hellfire down on us if we get him into a bath unwillingly.
@@hannahhenderson1113 Thats correct, I have never bathed my cat and many people on my socials are asking me what do I do to my cat to make his furr look so beautifull and I always tell them that I never wash my cat and I give him variaty of vitamins and he is a very healthy and happy cat.
@@temp3462 I completely agree. The only reason I have washed my cat is that my female cat had gotten too obese to bath her back end and there wasn't another option, as she had an odor and fecal matter all over her.
actually, cats usually groom themselves. if their fur is in very bad, visibly dirty, or matted condition then you may bathe them. also, yes, they are afraid of water- it makes the fur stick closer down to the skin than usual which is uncomfortable.
Honestly when i bathe my baby girl candy she actually loved it when i sat in the tub with her to bathe her she was actually calm that way, she would climb onto my lap to cuddle though but i let her
Sometimes it is necessary to help your cat though. One time my cat had diarrhea and got it all over herself so this is an example where you need to give your cat a bath
Yeaaah but sometimes they need a bit of help. Such as one of my kittens- he fails to clean his butt well (chonky lad) and I don’t think walking around with clumps of poop in his fur is really all that great. So he gets The Sink Bath. It’s just necessary sometimes
I actually had a neighbor once almost die from trying to bathe his cat and he got cat scratch fever. Cats use a litter box, so their claws are essentially poisonous 😂😂
I nicknamed my cat “Mr Pee paws” For obvious reasons, he needs a bath every now and again. He never likes it, but he never fusses aside from occasional meow, so I think I’m doin’ a good job.
It kinda sounds like you either don't have enough litter boxes, don't clean the one you have often enough, don't put enough litter inside, or its too small or has a lid that makes it too cramped to use comfortably. Our litter boxes lids were too low, so we switched to 35L rubbermaid bins without the lid and a hole cut in the side and about 4 inches of litter. All the pee paws and poop covered butts went away.
Cats don't need baths exept if they can't clean themselves properly. For example if they are old, sick or really young, after a rescue it can also be needed. So it's unecisary stress if you ask me.

yeah 100% always put a towel under the cat when youre bathing them. it gives them something to grip onto and thats way more comfortable than a plain sink
@•*{SpringChicken}*• their tips arent even tips lol, its complete misinformation. Cats ARE afraid of water, or to be more precise, the feeling of water hitting their fur, and no zoologist ever has ever said otherwise. Their fear has nothing to do with the environment, they dont care where the water comes from, bucket, sink, shower or bath, they just dont like the water.
right. lol
Yep. They can dig their claws into it when the get nervous.
if they wanted to make an actually helpful video, they couldve covered how to properly condition a cat to water using positive reinforcement
if you have an adult cat who has little to no experience being bathed and is showing fearful behaviors, doing it in the sink vs bath vs shower is likely not going to make a big difference. you need to focus on their fear response to the water as an unfamiliar stimuli
"'Cats are not afraid of water"... cats eyes the size of saucers..👁👁

“Puts 5 second old cat in water” SWIN. DANG YOU
HELP 😭
I've had to wash my cat two times. The first time she looked at me like I was trying to murder her. The second time it wasn't a whole lot better. There's got to be a real good reason to wash my cat.
Yeah, falling in the toilet is about the only thing that's earned my cat a bath.
Once my roommate went on vacation for 2 weeks and about a week into it, her cat got so depressed that she climbed into the bath tub and peed in herself then just laid down in it without even trying to clean herself. The cat got a bath. Now the cat follows me around any chance she can.
@@SI-GOD well I’m glad the cat feels better.
The only reason for the only time my mom did bathe our one of our cats (we’ve had a few through the years. Never more than one at a time. I say ‘one of’ bc i don’t remember which, I think it was our current one that we’ve had longest-) was ticks/fleas. Wash them fuckers out. Otherwise, we let her bathe herself. uwu
In general, a healthy adult cat doesn't require bathing unless he or she has gotten into something that has coated the fur and can't be easily removed with brushing, Cats groom themselves naturally, however their owners should help keep them clean by brushing or combing them regularly. Their fur gets matted and cold whilst bathing, therefore not necessary.
Flea baths are a thing even indoor cats should recieve them.
@@heilmadon Where would they catch fleas indoors? Nah.
@@heilmadon I've owned cats for over 30 years and have never given a cat a flea bath. The only flea treatment my cats ever got was a topical solution from the veterinarian. Cats don't need baths

My cat cleans himself. We brush him because he is long haired and needs help with the absurd amount of fur but he keeps himself very clean.
I feel like if anybody does decide to bathe their cat, they should limit doing it only a slight few times a month or two. Like you said, cats usually clean themselves, cats also have very absorbent fur
@@olderalt.4066 exactly. Of course there are cases where some cats cannot or choose not to clean themselves (rare cases and usually medical reasons) and of course then the cat will need to be bathed but if that's not the case and your vet doesn't say the cat needs extra cleaning then simple brushing works wonders for cats cleanliness and hygiene.
@@olderalt.4066 Bathing a cat monthly that does not have any medical or physical conditions is way too much. Cats only need to be bathed if they get into something that gets stuck in their fur that's not safe for them to clean themselves.
@@olderalt.4066 I bath my cat once a month and he never once let me put shampoo on him, he just runs away

Are we forgetting that cats wash themselves like every 5 minutes? You should only bathe a cat yourself if they have flees or ticks that you need to wash out, or are old and refuse to bathe themselves.
To prevent furballs just brush their fur.
It's not that hard.
Totally agree
You have to bathe hairless cats or else they get greasy and it leads to skin conditions
I typed a similar comment as you! People are very uneducated when it comes to cats
@@ghost_fishhh Most people don't have hairless cats, so they don't have to worry about it.
But yes, you're right. Hairless cats should be bathed.
Mine needed baths for some skin problems for a few months. She wasn't that bad about it. Now I just wash her butt when she gets poop stuck to her fur and obviously tries to get it off by rubbing on the floor smushed it into the tail more. She doesn't want to clean that but she will fight me like it's death for trying to wash it for her. There's no winning .

How do I give them a bathe when they can't even stand the sound of the water? They act like I'm taking their soul out of their bodies.
Run the water first then bring kitty
I have a cat who has the same problem, terrified of running water. I sink bathe him in the kitchen bc the sink has two sides, one sides was soapy water and the other has clean water. He does great as long as he don't hear the water come on.

😂🤣
1 of my cats is the same way!
No need to bathe a healthy cat anyway. They lick themselves for 2+ hours everyday.
My cat doesn't like bath but loves to play under the rain and soaks herself in a puddle of rain water 😂
But I don't have a removable shower head T~T
you can try to wash the cat in the sink
They're pretty simple to install they don't cost that much really
I do so yEaH-
Try the sink and put a little cloth at the bottom, it being slippery freaks them out
I know this is a month late but a clean cup can work fine too :)
"My cat is afraid of water."
no shit 💀
But it wasnt
Prefer to let my cat be self cleaning. Less stressful for him, less deadly for me 😹
when cats were wild water would weigh them down, making it harder to escape from predators. their fur would cling to their skin making it uncomfortable, like wet socks. cats love warmth, and water gets cold easily which makes them cold. thats why they dont like water.
I've never had a cat that smells. They always actually smell really nice. They don't need baths unless they can't clean themselves for some health reasons. They're not like dogs. They'll be fine lol
does not change the fact that cats breathe smells like dookie
@@olderalt.4066 depends on what you feed them ! So if your cat mouth smells bad it's you fault !
@@olderalt.4066 If the cat is sick, yeah
@@akoubam6584 No. I will feed my cat and his breathe would smell bad, he's an outdoor cat and probably catches his own food. 💀
Dogs don't need showers as well. I have dogs since i am 7 years old. the only time we had to wash any of my dogs were when they smelled is like maybe once or twice a year.
you can just let dirt dry and brush it out.
also don't do it in a bathtube or shower.
if you have a garden or any other place outside you can use buckets/ bowls of warm water. ALWAYS CHECK THE TEMPERATURE .
DO NOT USE NORMAL SHAMPOO. get a dog shampoo.
also if it's hot outside they like it even more to cool down.
If you have a puppy. get them used to it early on. please don't do it in the shower. use a small bucket or bowl. don't put water over their face. don't force them. and reward them if they enjoy it
"Please mother no-"
“No no no no… wait wait wait… WAIT WAIT WAIT.”

Trap yourself with flying, speedy, razor deathclaws while you are at it. Better be on the other side of the shower blasting your cat with a shower head like scientists touching chemicles and viruses in a small box.
@@sillydiscord6835 How exactly could it have been worded better? It wasn’t exactly a joke. It’s a blunt approach to what they did in the video. They legit spent most of the time talking about the cat’s comfort (which is important) and then completely disregarded their whole message by basically saying “if all else fails, you can always put the cat in the shower and shut them in while you spray them with a detachable faucet head.” That’s legit what they showed in the clip if I remember correctly which makes it even worse. Yes I am blunt, but I think I rightfully called them out on that in my blunt words.
Just watching this made me so anxious
I just put on my swim suit and get in the tub with them. I’ve done this with every cat I’ve ever bathed. It’s works well to comfort them and it’s much easier to keep them where you want them. Just have everything you need ready and nearby. I’ve even done this with stray cats that needed some love. They really do stay much calmer.

Ikr, that was funny as hell🥴🤣
My cat wasn't afraid of the water, he was afraid of drowning. He was scared being in the tub by himself, but if I was in there with him, he'd be okay. When we got older I couldn't bathe with him anymore, but I'd still keep my hands on him and soothe him so he knows he wasn't gonna drown. Maybe other babies are afraid of that too
Also cats don’t need bathed on a regular basis.
They are very good at keeping themselves clean, and have ways of removing bad smells from their own fur.
They only need bathed on certain occasions such as, something sticky or toxic on their fur, fleas with flea shampoo, they can no longer or refuse to clean themselves (usually caused by physical or mental health issues).
Bathed don’t hurt them (as long as your doing it right) but they don’t usually need them.
I know cats don't need bathing
Use a spot on for fleas it's kinder, added bonus it also kills ticks, worms, heartworm, ear mites. Two drops on the neck are much kinder.
@@tabbi888 Doesn't take the grime and poop off that the fleas leave on the cats.
@@kirby-impostor5594 if you keep them treated, they never get them in the first place.
@@tabbi888 Fleas can gain immunity. In fact, that's why every few years they HAVE to create a new formula. Doesn't change the fact your cats can still get fleas and get dirty because of them.
CATS CLEAN THEM SELFS!! (With there toung)
Not always, buddy.
Why is everyone washing their cats all the time?! If your cat is happy and healthy they will clean themselves…
I’ve only washed my cat once and that was when she came home during a sudden downpour, covered in mud. You don’t need to wash them, but you might want to sometimes if they’re outdoors cats. It also helps with allergies
Edit: my cat is only 1.5 years old and I might wash her more in the future if needed lol for now she’s terrified of shower heads but loves playing with water otherwise. The bit about allergies is especially for people who are allergic to cats. In most cases they’re allergic to the cats’ saliva, not the fur itself. Washing the saliva off the cat’s fur once in a while could help with mild cat allergies
Finally a sane person. These people are traumatizing their cats for no reason.
Fleas and on occasion your will have done something stupid like fall in the dirty fish tank or dump a pot of spaghetti sauce on themselves trying to jump on the counter. Also Toms (most of the time) do not groom as well as Molly/Queens, they can get dirt build up very quickly, stud tail (cat acne/blackheads) is common for Toms and long haired cats, it's very uncomfortable and the only way to get rid of it is to wash them with special soap. Long haired cats have problems grooming their backside.
Who’s washing their cat all the time?? At least once a year a bath is good for a cat! Plus when they get old they stop grooming as much meaning you’ll need to bathe them anyways
@@maikeruu1491 you think bathing a cat make him traumatized?? You are fucking retarded mate

"Zooligists came to the conclusion that cats are not at all afraid of water"

Alternative solution: just don’t bathe cats against their will they bathe themselves for a reason.

@@heilmadon then get anti-flea medicine
@@heilmadon flea bathes and flea preventative medication.
Some cats don’t groom themselves if they were separated from their mother too early. My cat was a stray kitten, he doesn’t really groom himself. Also, he loves to roll in the dirt when we let him outside. We always watch him closely whenever he’s out but he finds a way to sneak and do it lol.

Exactly, water only damages their natural furr and their own saliva is the best option as it gives a natural, clean, fluffy, shiny and healthy furr and skin.

@@temp3462 I completely agree. The only reason I have washed my cat is that my female cat had gotten too obese to bath her back end and there wasn't another option, as she had an odor and fecal matter all over her.
Maybe yo cat don’t. But cats be rubbing on EVERYTHING they are nasty and that nasty ass mouth ain’t cleaning shit
actually, cats usually groom themselves. if their fur is in very bad, visibly dirty, or matted condition then you may bathe them. also, yes, they are afraid of water- it makes the fur stick closer down to the skin than usual which is uncomfortable.
I'm guessing my cat is the odd one here, whenever I shower my cat jumps in with me and plays with the water while I'm showering

“Cats are not afraid of Water.”
Yeah Totally because I’m in the hospital right now-
wait how
I actually had a neighbor once almost die from trying to bathe his cat and he got cat scratch fever. Cats use a litter box, so their claws are essentially poisonous 😂😂
I nicknamed my cat “Mr Pee paws”
For obvious reasons, he needs a bath every now and again. He never likes it, but he never fusses aside from occasional meow, so I think I’m doin’ a good job.
He knows he stinks so he accepts it
It kinda sounds like you either don't have enough litter boxes, don't clean the one you have often enough, don't put enough litter inside, or its too small or has a lid that makes it too cramped to use comfortably.
Our litter boxes lids were too low, so we switched to 35L rubbermaid bins without the lid and a hole cut in the side and about 4 inches of litter. All the pee paws and poop covered butts went away.
By the looks of the cats, in each of the scenarios I can see the cats saying the answer is “False. It’s none of the above!”
“My cat is afraid of water”
bro who could have guessed.
Cats don't need baths exept if they can't clean themselves properly. For example if they are old, sick or really young, after a rescue it can also be needed. So it's unecisary stress if you ask me.
