What should cats pay attention to when taking a bath?
Bathing cats is a topic that many pet friends often talk about. It is indeed a good thing to bathe cats, but unreasonable bathing will bring many health hazards to cats. For example, frequent bathing can easily cause cats to lose their hair and get sick, so it is very important to control the frequency of bathing cats. In addition, pay special attention to the temperature of the bath water when bathing the kitten. Have you noticed it before?
First of all, in summer
It is hot in summer, and bacteria are easy to breed, which is an effective way to prevent bacteria from invading cats. When bathing cats in summer, the water temperature should not be too high. Before bathing the cat, you can let the cat test the water temperature with its claws. If the cat likes it, it can bathe the cat without drastic action. The general temperature range is 38-40 ~ ~
Second, in winter.
In winter, the water temperature for cats to bathe is relatively high. Of course, it is very necessary for cats to test the water temperature before bathing, as long as the water temperature is suitable. The specific water temperature is not much different from that in summer, just a little higher.
But remember, no matter what season, you can't bathe your pet cat with cold water or very hot water, because cats hate cold water. Of course, taking a bath with cold water can easily lead to difficulty in breathing for cats, which can easily make cats catch a cold and affect their health. Moreover, hot water will burn the kitten and cause its strong resistance. It will be even harder to bathe it in the future.
So generally speaking, the water temperature for bathing cats can generally be kept within the range of cat body temperature.
PS: Besides, it's not always possible to bathe the cat, only for one day. Generally speaking, bathing cats in summer can be chosen at dusk, when the temperature is relatively mild. In winter, you should choose to bathe your cat in a warm air-conditioned room or in a warm sunny afternoon to avoid catching a cold. At the same time, after bathing the cat, it is necessary to blow dry the cat's hair thoroughly in time to prevent the pet cat from catching cold and getting sick.
