Best Grooming Tip Contest 2004

Cat Grooming

I have found that the best and fastest way to bathe a cat is to use shampoo already diluted on a dry cat. There is plenty of water already in the shampoo, and it eliminates the pre-soaking with water that cats hate to begin with, and almost always become immediately agitated, and it speeds up the process considerably. Time is of the essence with a cat! Please be sure to adjust the water temperature prior to the cat getting in the tub ( preferably before the cat is in the room so he/she doesn't even hear the sound of water running) and then when you're ready to rinse, you don't use up precious time adjusting to correct temp.
