Pet Champion, the owner of the cat's nursery in Antonio's Dignity, Texas, cultivates and exposes long-haired and short-woolled cats. As the big expert in the reference with wet, slippery cats, Champion says, that the cat's shampoo should do a wool of a cat shining and pure by sight and to the touch. The pure wool should be soft and nappy, instead of be going to in lumps or icicles.

Cats do not tolerate long bathing.

When business reaches bathing of cats, time plays an essential role.  Good shampoo should be soaped quickly even if a wool of a cat not absolutely wet, and it is easy to be washed off. The shampoo small bottle should be discovered easily by one arm, and not spill, if it casually to overturn.
That the cat has not run away, do not forget to occlude a bathroom door, and always file unguises to a cat before will start it to wash, that it has not scratched you. The main thing is to make bathing fast, but effective.
«It is not obligatory to wait, while the cat will thoroughly become wet to soap it. Begin already when it little bit wet», - speaks Champion. «The cat can bear a 10-minute bath, but not 15 or 20-minute. I prefer to use a sprayer instead of a shower, to supervise quantity of water and to avoid its hit in a nose of a cat».

Start to soap a wool from ears to a tail. It is especially important at use of shampoos from fleas. To wash off begin with a back part of a neck. The soaped cat very slippery - as a wet piece of soap. It is easier for keeping, when foam is washed already off. It will give you the larger control over an animal.
Try, that water did not get on a nose of cats is can frighten them. Washing off foam from a breast and forelegs of a cat, try to wash off all without the rest. Finish bathing, having rinsed a cat water with Acetum small amount - m - glass l on 5 gallons of water (Gallon - 3,8 litres) - to delete from a wool the soap rests.

Turn a cat in the big towel, especially carefully - forelegs to dry up these fields. Wet fields of a wool are especially subject to infestation by a fungus, especially at long-haired cats, for example the Persian or burmese breed.

If for drying you use the phene, plant a cat in the container for resocks and adjust the phene on the minimum heating, or absolutely without heating. Occlude a door of the container and hold an arm near it cats easily get cold, therefore drying needs to be finished as soon as possible to prevent a frigorism. Especially it is important for kittens who quickly cool, when their wool wet to feel temperature of submitted air. If feel, that air too hot, remove the phene far away.
