Bathing Cats: Is It OK?

 


Cats don’t give out a distinct smell now and then. They are unlike your pet dogs that need to be given a bath often. In fact, some pet owners think that a cat only needs to take a bath when it begins to smell bad. However, cats will benefit if they get a bath often to get rid of the mites that might be present in their ears. These pests are itchy and will cause your pet cat to continue scratching its ear to feel comfortable. But continuously scratching can irritate their ears and might cause injury.

A young cat can easily scratch its ears because it is flexible. However, it becomes less flexible as it grows older. Cats might be unable to reach certain parts of their body because of arthritis or other issues. So, it’s really important to regularly bathe your cat regardless of its age.

If you have concerns about your pet’s health and/or behavior, contact your animal hospital New Orleans, LA sooner rather than later.
