how to bathe a cat that really so clean and fluffy fur. what steps must be passed in this regard.
Cats do not tend to like baths however there are always a small portion that don't mind. Some grooming salons specialize in cats as well as dogs but I tend to recommend to just use a waterless bath that you can purchase from a pet store. Since the cats hair is also long it is important to brush him on a regualr basis with a brush for cats to ensure he doesn't get matted

Hi I just asked a question about my cat lovebug and the shampoo/bath that she just got. If I feel she needs another rinsing can I just use bath wipes instead of a full bath?
Likely that would be fine but make sure the wipes are pet safe. Lovebug likely grooms herself a lot so she is ingesting any chemicals the wipes may have on them. Please post again if you have any further questions!

I haven't been bathing my cat at all and i want to start now. How often should i bathe her and how do you bathe her?
Cats shouldn't be bathed more often than once every 6-8 weeks if needed. You can have her groomed by a professional groomer so she doesn't associate the stress of bathing with you. If this is not an option, bathe her when she is most calm. Trim her nails and brush her first. Your veterinarian or groomer can show you how to trim nails if necessary. Use a cat approved shampoo. Place a mat in the the sink or tub for traction so she doesn't slip. Place cotton balls in her ears to prevent water getting in them. If you have sterile plain eye lubricant, instill in both eyes to protect from soap. Fill the container with 3-4 inches of water. Wet her down, lather her up and rinse thoroughly. Wrap her in a thick towel and dry her completely. Remove the cotton balls from her ears, wipe her face and give her a final brushing. If she won't allow bathing, use plain unscented baby wipes or pet wipes. These can also be used to spot clean between baths.

So now i know i can shower them..but what can i use for them . not a human shampoo either a soap..and will she bite me..she often bites me..but
There are cat and dog specific shampoos available at most pet stores, or on big box websites like Chewy or Amazon. While you certainly can bathe your kitty, I typically don't recommend this as a regular activity since the majority of cats do a great job of cleaning themselves. Unless your cat is getting herself into something that is causing her to be overly filthy, I would recommend letting her do the job herself to avoid yourself getting battle wounds. Hope this makes sense.

Which shampoo and when i can give my kitten a bath? Her age is 2.5 months
You can give her a bath at any time! A soothing shampoo with aloe or oatmeal can help keep her skin from becoming too dry. If she doesn't like the bath, you can also use pet or baby wipes to wipe down any very dirty areas, or even a wet washcloth with a little waterless shampoo sprayed onto it.
