6A COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL October 21, 2015 TALE Splish-Splash —How to avoid taking a bath with your cat! Don’t expect a miracle the fi rst time your wiggling cat is lowered into warm water, because bathing cats is an art form. There is a delicate balance of not terrorizing the cats, or you. Be brave and bold, “Your mission, should you accept it...” is to get the cat wet, clean and dry with the end goal of minimal water soaking you or your home! Bathing Tips Reasons to bathe a cat: Introducing a new pet to other pets so it smells like it belongs in your home by using your other pet’s shampoo. Just because a cat cleans itself with its pretty-pink tongue, does not mean their fur is clean. Bathing removes house dust, out- side dirt, fl eas and their excrement/eggs. Cats who sit under cars who have had oil dripped on their fur. Aging pets or Persians — it is often es- sential for cleaning their back ends from “accidents”. Physical and Psychological Tips Fur a Paws-itive Experience! Trim cat’s claws prior to a bath. (Once a month, we trim our cats front claws, espe- cially their dew claws.) Understand that it is a rare cat that enjoys a bath! Their instinct is to fl y out of the sink, dripping wet, and run through your home. The younger and more often you bathe a cat, the more accustomed it becomes. www.andreasons.com Wear something that can be soaked by a bath-hating cat! Or strip down to your ‘barely’ essentials.

We always introduce our cats to their bath “backwards”, never facing what is about to unfold. There is less drama when we walk them with their backs to the water, and dip them into the warm water before they can react. Once they are wet, they are resigned to the chore at hand. Encourage your cat with a kind low voice keeping them calm. Tell them, “What a good boy/girl”. Have four towels/microfi ber cloths ready for drying your cat. Fur absorbs more wa- ter than you can fathom! Rubbing cats with a miracle micro-fi ber cloth speeds up dry- ing. Micro-fi ber cloths absorb more water, faster, than towels. Placing a cat on the fl oor, on top of a cloth, and then rub them vigorously with two more cloths soon has them almost dry. Use the bottom cloth to Keep water and shampoo out of the cat’s eyes, nose and ears!
