Grooming Steps
Check the cat's ears, eyes and cat Claws: Before grooming a cat, take this opportunity to check that the ears, eyes, and claws are clean and free of signs of underlying disease.
Self-grooming: At first, the mother cat grooms the kittens herself. The action of the mother cat licking the kitten has the effect of promoting the physical function of the newborn cat. After a few weeks, with the help of the mother, the kitten quickly learns how to keep its own body clean.
Wash your face: Long-haired cats tend to have blocked tear ducts. When this happens, tears run down the cheeks, leaving unsightly black marks on the face. To remove stains, a cotton ball should be dipped in salt water and rubbed against the fur on the cheeks.
Cat's Eye: When wiping the cat's eye, soak a piece of cotton in warm water and gently wipe off the dirt.
Trimming your cat's claws: If you need to trim your cat's claws, hold the cat tightly on your lap and press your fingers against the cat's paws so that the cat's claws stick out forward. Check the cat's paws carefully. The main part of a cat's paw consists of pink undernail fleshy roots, which contain shinjing. Live meat must not be cut. The white claw tips are insensate, and the cat will not feel pain if the claw tips are cut off.
Cleaning cat's claws: Cat's claws won't stick to dirt, and if they do, they can be easily washed with a damp cotton ball.
Claw cutting: Use very sharp scissors or special pliers to cut off the white claw tips, do not cut off the fleshy roots under the nails.
If we want to bathe the cat, we need to pay attention:
1. Kittens can not bathe, they can only be washed after the first vaccination, The first shot of the vaccine is usually given after 10 weeks of the kitten. The resistance is very poor within a week after the immunization, and they cannot take a bath to prevent a cold. Can be washed after a week.
2. It is not advisable for domestic cats to bathe frequently. Bathing can damage the protective oils in your cat's coat, so wash every 4 to 6 weeks at most. More than this frequency, dandruff similar to human dandruff will appear, and it is easy to get skin diseases.
3. Use cat-specific bath liquid for cat washing, not human shampoo. The cleaning ingredients, care ingredients, and disinfection ingredients required for cat fur are different from person to person. Every supermarket sells it, don't save this money.
4. If the cat is always crazy when it sees water, it is recommended to cut the cat's nails first, and then wash it with plastic gloves.
It's time to take a shower, be sure to be in a warm environment to prevent catching a cold, and have a large bath towel ready.
Cats don't like water, but many cats can tolerate it. Prepare a basin large enough to put your cat down, store the water until the cat's legs are soaked, and submerge some parts of the belly that have not yet exceeded the back, the water is too high and the water pressure is too high, the cat will feel uncomfortable. If the cat hates water too much and jumps out easily, you can use a plastic sorting box as a bathtub. The edge of the sorting box is high and it is not easy to jump away. The water temperature must not be hot, 40 degrees is enough, it feels a little hot but not hot. Put the cat in, she may struggle at this point, talk to her slowly to ease her nervousness. Grab the base of her two front legs with one hand so she can't run away. Wet the cat's hair with water quickly, and pour the water from a regular cup on her body. Some cats can even be washed slowly with the spray nozzle. It depends on how docile the cat is. For cats with a more aggressive personality, it is recommended to use a cup to pour the water. This way, the amount of water is enough to prevent the cat from freezing, and there is no rushing sound of the spray nozzle. She caused fear.
After the hair is wet, apply the body wash and rub vigorously. Rub all over the body, flush. Be sure to rinse it off to prevent the cat from licking the remaining bath liquid into its stomach. Wrap in a towel and dry. In the process of washing cats, if the cat has a particularly bad temper, you can wash it with two people, one by one and the other. When washing, you can use a cat-specific digital comb to comb her hair to comb her daily hair off, so that she will fall on furniture and clothes. less hair.
The wind blowing is too loud and can be avoided in summer. Just wipe it with a dry towel, put it in a sunny and warm place, and ask her to lick it by herself.
