Does anyone wash their bengals? Mine dont really like touching water and they smelt a bit yesterday and i used a bit of water on them to clean them down a bit and they didn't mind. If anyone does, what do they use? Dont want to irritate them.

Thanks

Cats ordinarily don't need baths; however if you want to wash the fur-faces then baby shampoo would be my choice.(I used to use it on my pooch many moons ago ) What's good for a human bub is good for our furry bubs!

thanks i'll try that. I think he had just found the bin and pulled the empty cat food pouch out to play with cos he smelled of cat food!!

There are special cat shampoos at the vet and on the net .
Babies shampoos are ok but not totally adapted (different skin pH etc).

Anne is right It was over 20 years ago when I last had to bath a pooch

You can also buy dry cat shampoos if your cat doesn't like water

just be sure to rinse very well, they will lick themselves to their idea of 'clean' afterwards- you certainly dont want them to eat anything bad for them

When ever I had a show to go to with my Rottweilers I would bath them with Pantene shampoo... (obviously a few days before) theyre coats would look fantastic, My boy erik won two titles so human shampoo cant be that bad...
All I recommend is that you rinse rinse rinse. its the residue that irratates..

I use large pet wipes for an all over rub down - the wipes are safe on their eyes, ears, bottom etc. Much easier than risking getting scratched arms/legs/hands!

Well Chaos yesterday had the great idea to pee in the litter tray just cleaned but not yet refilled and then to slip and fall in it so I put him in the shower and rinced him quickly... then held him and gave it to OH for a rub but oh my he wasn't happy at all and meowed loudly, and I think hurt OH in his attempt to escape .

I had to bath to bath mine a few months ago, i had just squirted bleach down the loo, i turned my back for two seconds to put the lid on an heard a loud plop! i found tricky head first down the loo covered in bleach! the loo seat is always down so i think he must have gone to jump on it but ended up in it instead. Luckily it was only on his fur and not in his eyes. he wasnt my friend for quite some time after though

awww daft tricky! i luuurve his little mini-me bed!
