Is it safe to give a cat a bath with baby shampoo!?
Yes, but keep it out of the cat's eyes. As long as you're going through all the pain of giving the cat a bath, it's summertime, why not go get cat flea shampoo instead.
It's always best to use pet shampoos on your pet. If you must use something else, use a mild dishwashing liquid. Human shampoos can dry your cat's skin out.





Washing a cat should only be done if they are very dirty. Cats tend to keep themselves very clean on their own.
It's best to use pet shamppo, even baby shampoo is really too strong for pets. In an emergency, go for it.


But for more common bathing you really do need pet shampoo.
Yes, but it might claw you to death.
Its best to use a shampoo that is specifically designed for cats as they have many natural oils in their coats that may be stripped away using human shampoo, causing skin problems. Baby shampoo will work in a pinch though...if you absolutely must bathe your cat.
the cat will be fine but you might bleed to death from bites and clawing
cats clean them selfs. Why would you want to wash your cat?
The cat will hate you, but yes.
Yes it is.But you need to know how to handle the cat when you wash it.
Sure, just don't get it in kitty's eyes. Some cats hear the running water and think it's another cat hissing. So get the tub or what you use full before bringing kitty in. Clip the claws back, and get ready for a kitty fight! MEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW ! RIP! SHRED ! WHY did you DO this to me!? Then kitty will look like a drowned rat. Good luck, wear a long sleeve shirt and GLOVES - Yes I mean GLOVES and get em wet. Not rubber gloves - THICK cloth ones.
Yes, but you might find baby bath easier to rinse out; dilute either with warm water in a jug before putting it on to her fur.
It will work if your cat has to have a bath Baby shampoos contain an ingredient that numbs the eyes making the suds sting less, but they strip essential oils from animals coats. Baby shampoo is just shampoo with an eye number.
