Cats can take a bath in winter. Winter is relatively cold, so you can appropriately reduce the frequency of bathing your cat. It is best to bathe the cat at noon on a sunny day. You can turn on the air conditioner and adjust the indoor temperature to above 20 degrees before bathing the cat. The best water temperature is around 39 degrees. After bathing the cat, the cat needs to be dried in time. After drying the cat's hair, you can let the cat properly bask in the sun and let it tidy up its hair. In winter, you should pay attention to insulation measures, enhance nutrition, improve immunity, and prevent cats from catching colds.
Precautions for bathing cats:
1. When bathing a cat, just dry the head with a wet towel. Because cats’ eyes, ears, and noses are relatively sensitive, water in the ears can easily cause otitis, water in the nose can easily cause choking, and shower gel in the eyes can easily cause eye infections such as conjunctivitis and keratitis in cats.
2. Don’t bathe too frequently. The elasticity of a cat’s skin and the luster of its coat are maintained by sebum. Bathing too frequently will cause a large amount of sebum to be lost, resulting in reduced skin elasticity and susceptibility to skin diseases. Disease, the coat becomes rough and easy to break.
3. Be careful not to let the cat lick the shower gel and bath water to prevent the cat from accidentally eating it and being poisoned. After using the shower gel, rinse twice more to remove the shower gel from your cat.
