Can cats be bathed with human shower gel?

Cats cannot be bathed with human shower gel, because cat skin is different from human skin. Long-term use of human shower gel will damage the skin, causing the cat's hair to lose its luster, become dull, rough, and lose a lot of hair, which is serious. It can also cause skin diseases.

Tip:

Cats need to use pet-specific shower gel or shampoo, so that it is suitable for the cat’s skin.
