When bathing cats, you need to pay attention to some taboos. Here are the top ten taboos:


1. Avoid frequent bathing: Cats' skin and hair are sensitive to moisture, and bathing too frequently may damage their skin and hair.


2. Do not use water that is too cold or too hot: The water temperature should be based on human body temperature, preferably not lower than 38℃ or higher than 40℃.


3. Avoid forced bathing: If cats hate water very much, forcing them to bathe may cause them stress and anxiety.


4. Do not use products such as human shampoo: Shampoo used by humans often contains ingredients that are harmful to cats and can easily cause skin allergies and other problems.


5. Do not let cats enter deep water: Cats have poor adaptability to deep water and are prone to suffocation and drowning.


6. Avoid injuries: Gently massage the cat's body when bathing to avoid scratching the skin.


7. Do not expose cats to the wind: After bathing, gently dry the cat's body with a towel and avoid exposing them to the wind.


8. Do not use a hair dryer to dry: Hair dryers can make cats feel uncomfortable and frightened, and are also prone to skin allergies.


9. Do not let the cat lick itself dry: wet cat hair is easy to breed bacteria, and letting the cat lick itself dry may cause discomfort and illness.


10. Avoid bathing in cold or sunny conditions: bathing in cold conditions can easily cause cats to catch a cold, and bathing in the sun may cause sunburn.
