No...and definitely DO NOT USE DISHWASHING soap omg. You can't even use dishwashing soap on a car because it damages the clear coat, I wouldn't imagine using it on an animal's skin!





Go to the pet store and get some kitten shampoo. It's relatively cheap and it will last you a long long long time.
Dawn dish washing soap is what the rescuers used on wildlife that was coated in oil during the Exxon Valdez Oil spill. As long as you rinse it all the way, it will be fine to use.





Are you feeding her moist food? If so, this is likely the cause and you should switch her to dry food.
If you have kitten shampoo use that. If not baby shampoo is fine for now, but definitely take a trip to the store and purchase kitty shampoo. You can also you dawn dish soap, but just a dab, it goes a long way.
No it will irritate her skin even if it's baby shampoo. Every ''human'' shampoo will irritate your pet's skin. You should go and buy some cat shampoo or if her leg is really dirty just clean with water then go buy the shampoo, come back and clean it all up.
You could use it and she would probably be ok, but why risk it. A bottle of kitten shampoo is only about four dollars so I would just go get that. It is specially made to not irritate her sensitive kitten skin.
ACTUALLY....this would be fine to use, and would be more gentle than a harsh dish soap. Make sure to use warm (not hot) water, and be gentle.
use dawn dishwashing soap.
NO!!!! It will irritate her skin.. Use cat shampoo..

Cats are naturally very clean, and they spend many of their waking hours meticulously grooming their coats, but occasionally cats need help with cleaning, especially in areas that aren't completely reachable such as the head and back. Anyone who has ever tried to bathe a cat knows it's a nearly impossible task. Unless a cat has been used to bathing in water from little on, they will fight to escape a bath, and you risk being bitten or mercilessly clawed. You could end up losing an appendage if you try to bathe a cat that isn't accustomed to being bathed, and it isn't worth risking.





Don't risk life and limb by trying to bathe your cat. Instead of attempting to bathe your cat, try the following homemade dry shampoo especially for cats. Your cat might not appreciate homemade dry shampoo, but he won't put up the fight he would if you tried to put him in water. Although this homemade shampoo is brushed out after application, it won't hurt your cat if he happens to clean himself afterwards. This homemade shampoo doesn't contain any soap, chemicals, or any potentially harmful ingredients, and it's completely natural and safe for cats of all ages.





Dry Shampoo Ingredients and Preparation





To make homemade dry shampoo for cats you'll need oatmeal, bran, or cornmeal. You'll also need a baking sheet, a bath towel or hand towel, and a cat brush. Depending on your cat's personality and level of cooperation, you might also need assistance from a friend or family member.





Prepare the dry shampoo for cats by placing the oatmeal, cornmeal, or bran on a baking sheet in a low temperature oven. Bake it just until it becomes comfortably warm to the touch. Begin applying the warm oatmeal, cornmeal, or bran to your cat's coat, and be sure to thoroughly but gently rub it down to the skin. Go over the fur with a bath towel or hand towel to help remove any loose dirt, oil, and grime, and finish by brushing the cat's fur.





Fast Solution for Dirty Spots on Fur





Does your cat like lounging beneath parked cars. In addition to keeping homemade dry shampoo on hand, keep baby wipes on hand to clean away dirty spots on fur. Baby wipes are naturally gentle and nontoxic and the soapy ingredients aren't meant to be rinsed away. Baby wipes are generally inexpensive, easy to use and dispose of, and they do a great job of spot cleaning dirty cats.

this might work for cat also.... although this site says it's for dogs





I looked around to see what other DIYers were washing their dogs with, and found a few interpretations of a formula that combines a mild dish soap, glycerine, vinegar and water. Sounds good! Using an all-natural dish soap (Seventh Generation, Ecover, etc.) will work to clean, glycerine is a humectant and emollient, and vinegar will boost shine and remove odor.





INGREDIENTS


1/3 cup glycerin


1 cup all natural dish soap


1 cup apple cider vinegar


1 quart water





Mix ingredients into a large bottle, shake %26amp; bathe.

Another site reccommends a similar mixture..





Mix one cup of all-natural dish soap with a cup of organic apple cider vinegar, 1/3rd cup of natural glycerin, and a quart of filtered water. The glycerin natural moisturizes and hydrates your pet's coat. The natural dish soap provides cleansing properties to the pet shampoo. The organic apple cider vinegar freshens the scent of your pet while adding shine to your dog or cat's fur.

sorry not sure about baby shampoo - if it is safe for it to get into baby's mouth %26amp; eyes it should be OK for kitty occassionally.... but honestly I never give my cats baths. They are the only things in my house that are ';auto-cleaning';. Sometimes if they get a little poo on their butt fur I will help them by removing the poo and taking a warm water only rag on their butts, rinse the rag and repeat until they smell clean again. And to advoid the ';dingle-berries'; from attaching I will trim the long-haire cats whole butt region. Hey he doesn't like it ... so I get a friend to hold him. But he does like the fact that his rump is low maintenane later and dingle free.
