Calling all cat lovers...

[2EVES]

I looove cats, but, only owned 1 in my life. Now, I have a cat as a houseguest for a week, for someone who went away.

 

Because it comes from a home with dogs, kids, etc., I want to rinse the cat off. Is vinegar or hydrogen peroxide ok? google is offering conflicting advice. 

 

[Musky]

No vinegar or peroxide. Just water is fine or a little baby shampoo. Don't put it in the microwave to dry it either.

Other natural things to pop in their meals are seaweed (Kelp) they don't usually mind the taste of that and it conditions the coat ... egg yolks and brewers yeast.

Huh? lol, i'm not adopting it. He'll be going back home

[Ahuvah]

Don't you have him for a week? The yeast will condition his coat isn't that what you are asking? I think I've missed something haha.

That's good to know for when i get my own cat.   But, with my 'guest' cat...i just want to wipe it down...without getting my eyes clawed out.   I don't know it's temperment, so i won't attempt a bath...most cat don't like that right? I take it , you have cats?

[Ahuvah]

Yes I have a cat ... a wild cat ... I don't bathe her, but she loves water - she's a water cat.  But I use a lot of supplements to keep her coat clean. Always use cold teabags to clean her eyes. I don't bathe her - no need to.

[Ahuvah]

 they're beautiful!

[Ahuvah]

haha ... yeah you could say that ... my one has three legs - so she's beautiful, unique, clumsy and a real crack up to watch.

you bought/adopted her that way?

The Breeder was and still is a sister ... her mother (the cat's mother) was a small Bengal, usually they get quite big ... but her first litter was four cats and two of those were very big cats and we think our one (abi we call her) got 'squashed' in the womb and her leg got starved of oxygen and just didn't grow - so she has this twisted stump - she takes very good care of it and still uses it to balance on window sills etc, but she can't weight bear on it.  The breeder didn't know what to do with her so we asked if we could have her and here she is. Munted like  me - we go well together.

You have a macaw too.. Or is that stuffed... .. Bengals love water on their terms .. If you are just having it for a week .. Just brush it ..

[Ahuvah]

On their terms is exactly it. (No it's a macaw statue) .

[Luezette]

I understand that there are powders, cat powders or something you can use to clean a cat. You just sprinkle some on the cat and brush it off.

I believe Walmart has some wipes that are like baby wipe but their for a cat, just wipe the cat down and tada no claw marks

These work well for a quick wipe down. I usually just take the vacuum attachment to my cat, followed by a good brushing.

She has beautiful markings Mandi...and very well trained...Cesar Milan would be proud of you.    )'>
