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

Freckle is terrified of the hair dryer and because her fur is thick and somewhat long, I don't think I should air dry her. Every time I turn the hair dryer on, she runs under the bed and doesn't come out until the sound's gone. And if someone holds h
I wouldn't bathe a cat too often. They are very good at keeping themselves clean. I would just recommend rubbing her with a towel and letting her be. You can also comb her out if she will sit for it. I would just be careful with getting bit by her since cat bites can get infected. I would be surprised if she sat for a blow dryer. Most cats will not. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Both my dog and cat have lice. Saydee has a seresto collar but I still see the nits. Mystic is 17 and his fur is so bad I've had to cut matted clumps off. I've put frontline on him but he too has them yet. I don't know what to do with either of them
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. Often the drugs that are used for lice and fleas will kill the adults, but not the eggs, and you have to wait for the eggs to hatch in order to kill them off, and the drug kills the adults before they are able to lay more eggs. The spot-ons tend to work better than the collars in my experience, and both Seresto and Frontline are good products, just be very careful to not use dog products on your cat as they can be very toxic. Grooming is going to help significantly, and if you are unable to bath and groom, and if the hair is very matted and dirty, some people will go to the vet, have their animal sedated and shaved/clipped. It sounds like this might be a good option for you at this stage. I hope that helps! Best of luck with them!

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.
