How to Bathe your Cat that Hates Water (6 Step Tutorial) | The Cat Butler

[@joydow49]

Best cat grooming/bathing video I’ve ever seen, even compared to any videos done by professional grooming and bathing. The bucket and cup is the best part. Great idea! The loud scary running water is what makes bathing a cat impossible! Amazing video! Thank you! ..Adorable kitties as well! I have a ragdoll cat that is the same flamepoint coloring! Only mine looks twice as large.. he is an 18 pound big boy! All muscle. Not overweight, just huge frame!

[@TheCatButler]

Wow, thank you! Your comment is so kind! I had trouble as well bathing my cat in the beginning, and finally figured out an unique solution and wanted to share. My male Ragdoll cat Teemo is also getting huge. He weighs 16 pounds now! I get a workout carrying him haha

dude you litteraly saved my life, i wanted to start washing my cat because i read somewhere that its good for him, but i always thought my cat would kill me if it touched a drop of water. so i put him in my bathtub, preparing for the worst but for my surprise when i started to gently pour water on him, he just went with it and didnt even hiss or try to get out. i was extremely shocked because it was the first time i bathed him.

[@TheCatButler]

I am so glad you were able to bathe your cat without any issues! Yeah the first time a cat experiences water is important. If it’s negative every time afterwards they will fight you tooth and nail. Since you were so gentle he never had a bad experience so you should be good in the long run!

I'm seeing a lot of comments about how this didn't work with their cat. This is normal. If you have to bathe an adult cat for the first time they are going to freak out. If you want to be able to bathe your cat regularly you have to start when they're little, otherwise getting them used to it is going to be a challenge even doing things right.

[@kristajohnson9173]

Its a good idea to give a cat its first bath as a kitten, to get them used to it and keep them from being fearful. Just remember they typically don't need bathing at all, since they clean themselves. Only if they are extremely dirty, or can't do it themselves for whatever reason. Often it only becomes an issue when they get elderly, for indoor cats.

[@i.widiastuti8718]

thank you so much! with your video as a guide, I had succeed bathing my cat for the first time today! he moved around a little but not grumpy at all when I washed him. he’s a bit cranky as I towel-dried him, but with creamy treats and small portion of food as reward, we’re both happy!

[@TheCatButler]

I am glad the video helped!

[@theeastsidecourier7617]

I'm learning how to bathe a cat, because I heard one way to get rid of bugs like fleas on your cat, is washing it out with lots of water, so bathing it would also take care of the dirt as well. Thank you for this video.

[@melissagreen_]

Perfect, this is truly the best and kindest way to bathe a cat, so many ppl get it wrong and try to immerse the cat in the bath and then wonder why it ends up a disaster! Well done. Subbed.

[@TheCatButler]

Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate the support :)

[@stevenhenry2940]

Hello Melissa how are you doing today

[@dnllmaurer1]

This is very well done. You clearly explained important points in detail. Like, cut claws before bathing, do it correctly & avoid the quick. Use shampoo for cats, pay attention to under parts & be sure to rinse thoroughly. I'll share a few more tips. I use a shower wand with 2 hoses to extend reach & manipulate where I need it. I reduce water pressure to keep cat calm & the continuous water flow speeds the process of proper rinsing. I like Adams Plus Flea & Tick Foaming Shampoo & Conditioner for Cats & Kittens. It easily works into a light lather, cleans well, leaves skin moisturized, coat shinny & smells nice. Hold head up & start at neck, work up chin but avoid eyes & ears. Direct water away from face. I have a small plastic ladder cat can stand up on to feel safe. I also give them a calming CBD treat before starting. I towel dry next to a small heater that quietly blows warm air. It keeps cat warm while I use a small slicker brush to gently brush hair in alternating directions. This efficiently drys their coat.

[@TheCatButler]

Thank you for the kinds words. Very well said! You take excellent care of your cat!

[@papoobhoy2320]

What is CBD?

[@coochiesl4yer696]

@@papoobhoy2320 it’s a chemical found in weed. i’m sure we know what weed is but basically it’s a medicine/drug. one of its side effects is making ppl/animals relaxed in a sense so ppl took that chem and made it specifically for helpful needs so some animals need it if they’re a little too jumpy and stuff

She just kept WALKING away from the water but i still managed to bath her, i'm not sure if she's clean enough tho cause i tried being gentle as much as possible cause she don't like being massaged for a long time. It's still her first time, i hope she'll become more comfortable the next time. Thanks for this!

[@Susan.Lewis.]

"How To Bathe A Cat" joke I. Know that although the cat has the advantage of quickness and lack of concern for human life, you have the advantage of strength. Capitalize on that advantage by selecting the battlefield. Don't try to bathe him in an open area where he can force you to chase him. Pick a very small bathroom. If your bathroom is more than four feet square, I recommend that you get in the tub with the cat and close the sliding -glass doors as if you were about to take a shower. (A simple shower curtain will not do. A berserk cat can shred a three-ply rubber shower curtain quicker than a politician can shift positions.) II. Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to protect yourself. I recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top construction boots, a pair of steel-mesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face-mask, and a long-sleeved flak jacket. III. Use the element of surprise. Pick up your cat nonchalantly, as if to simply carry him to his supper dish. (Cats will not usually notice your strange attire. They have little or no interest in fashion as a rule.) IV. Once you are inside the bathroom, speed is essential to survival. In a single liquid motion, shut the bathroom door, step into the tub enclosure, slide the glass door shut, dip the cat in the water and squirt him with shampoo. You have begun one of the wildest 45 seconds of your life. V. Cats have no handles. Add the fact that he now has soapy fur, and the problem is radically compounded. Do not expect to hold on to him for more than two or three seconds at a time. When you have him, however, you must remember to give him another squirt of shampoo and rub like crazy. He'll then spring free and fall back into the water, thereby rinsing himself off. (The national record for cats is three latherings, so don't expect too much.) IV. Next, the cat must be dried. Novice cat bathers always assume this part will be the most difficult, for humans generally are worn out at this point and the cat is just getting really determined. In fact, the drying is simple compared with what you have just been through. That's because by now the cat is semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. You simply pop the drain plug with your foot, reach for your towel and wait. (Occasionally, however, the cat will end up clinging to the top of your army helmet. If this happens, the best thing you can do is to shake him loose and to encourage him toward your leg.) After all the water is drained from the tub, it is a simple matter to just reach down and dry the cat. In a few days the cat will relax enough to be removed from your leg. He will usually have nothing to say for about three weeks and will spend a lot of time sitting with his back to you. He might even become psychoceramic and develop the fixed stare of a plaster figurine. You will be tempted to assume he is angry. This isn't usually the case. As a rule he is simply plotting ways to get through your defenses and injure you for life the next time you decide to give him a bath. But at least now he smells a lot better.

[@Kriliska]

I just bought a handheld showerhead, a long hose and water suppressor that allows to control water flow making it not loud and scary for cats. A much recommended solution. It also makes rinsing the bathtub easy after you clean it.

[@TheCatButler]

good tip!

[@crazyAZNrae]

Super misleading, lol 😅 how is your cat so chill?? My cat wouldnt shut up the whole time, his meows were bellowing, and he started to fight me after I rubbed the shampoo in... so rinsing thoroughly was HARD. 😫😭

[@TheCatButler]

My cat tried killing me in the beginning too haha. So definitely empathize with you! I think me pouring water from the cup really help to bring their anxiety down. Before any sound of running water would bring the devil out inside them. And having them face forward most of the time prevented them from scratching me. I also tried to be as patient with each step so not to stress them out. And eventually they weren't afraid of the water anymore. Another thing I noticed that may have helped is that I let them watch me shower. I think the cats observed that if their parent was also getting a shower and no harm came to the parent, the water isn't too bad after all! I hope this helps! Trust me showering a cat is hard.

[@crazyAZNrae]

@@TheCatButler lol, nice.. gotta let my cat see me shower. That does make sense, but also makes me laugh 😆 Yeah...

[@TheCatButler]

Samantha Glad it was helpful!

[@imeshudawela9592]

thanks for the tutorial! my cat is very old and has a hard time grooming herself so this is very helpful!

[@TheCatButler]

I am glad it helped!

[@chrismichailidis9093]

I should bring my cat here; if you manage to complete any of these operations I will be amazed! (Btw adorable kitten-I enjoyed the video!!!!!) :-)

[@TheCatButler]

Thank for the kind words!

[@Midnight.Rain.747.]

0:49 are we not going to talk about that, that cat likes water

[@heybrowhatup]

That is one cool cat!

[@sumelle2]

Gorgeous cats and you are so gentle and loving with them, everything was done very well 😀

[@TheClaireAnnette]

Oh my God, thank you! Do you think sponge bathing a cat is decent way to start prepping them for actual baths?

[@TheCatButler]

Hey Claire! Thanks for the kind words. I think sponge bathing is a good idea to prep them for the baths! I also made a follow up video on how to get your cat used to water. Sometimes some cats can be really scared of water and you need to ease them into it. Here is the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpTEe5qkdtJpps0 I hope it helps!

@@linuswang6572 Trust me, I have since learned from Jackson Galaxy to not do this. I just forgot this comment existed.

[@eztrellalinda4162]

i just got a kitten about three weeks ago and bathed her as soon as I brought her home, she did not like it lol, I'm going to take her one today and I hope this works! your cat is so calm

[@TheCatButler]

Yeah my cat use to really dislike water, but I was to slowly make them appreciate it. I made a follow up video on how I got them use to water. Hope it helps and good luck! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpTEe5qkdtJpps0

[@Ghosty_B0o]

I should've watched this BEFORE I gave my cat a bath. She's vnever had one before and was COVERRED in soot. I wasn't scratched, she didn't really struggle too much, but I feel bad for her now🥺

[@ChewyChicken589]

It's also a good idea to keep a few pints of your own blood type on hand just in case

[@TheCatButler]

hahaha!

[@tru4ngelina185]

im gonna try this and hopefully it works

[@kgirldoane6063]

it worked for my cats😀🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@jocelynncampana8084]

I always put in a chair and put my cat or dog on top of the chair, this way they don't feel too overwhelmed or overpowered and get hostile, then I begin the shower process by lathering them up in pet shampoo and rinse with a cup. Always works.

[@TheCatButler]

Ah that is a good tip!

[@blisswkc3344]

5:16 the cat trying to escape the towel is so funny lol

[@ermelinda2223]

I loved this video. What a fully cute cat awwww

[@TheCatButler]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zhaneempress5529]

I found that putting my hand around the back of my cats neck/upper back and push down on her as she tries to jump out of the tub very easy now……not forcing my on her hard or hurting her!!!! It’s like pushing her body towards the ground but not really if I’m making sense 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@stephanginther9051]

My stepmother had a kitten that never learned to groom properly and the little devil liked to dive into her dirt pile after she was done sweeping, role around a bit then tare around the house dirtying it up again. It was a game he played every time she got the broom. If she got the dirt in the dust pan, he'd sit in that and refuse to move until she dumped him out. Lol, it was his way of screwing with mamma but it also meant he needed a bath almost daily since once again, he didn't groom himself. They found another home for him when they moved and couldn't take him with for various reasons. He's no doubt still up to his old tricks.

[@user-kj7xb9hs8g]

This helped a lot! My kitten is a stray our neighbor who keeps them outside let’s us keep one of their kittens we chose her but she wasn’t trained at all we’re still training her to use the litter but shes needs a bath really badly so this helped a lot!

[@TheCatButler]

I am glad the video helped. And you are angel taking care of that kitten :)

[@ElleKBee]

The cutest cats I have ever seen

[@naralykely]

First time taking my new cat a shower and this video helped a lot! He didn’t enjoy it, but if definitely went smoother then I thought it would. (:

[@TheCatButler]

Hey glad the video helped a lot :)

[@zainebtahir5307]

Bathing my cat is like war, so thank you so much this video helped me a lot. 😄

Adorable cat!

[@TheCatButler]

Thanks!

[@cyruscalixlopez6574]

We just have a rescued cat last June 2nd. Hubby rescued him from the street near his work place. it's raining that day and he had a hard time rescuing the kitty coz he's so aggressive. Don't know how months he is but he's not that small anymore but not too big.😄 1st day at home he's kinda scary cat, we can't go near him, so aggressive,or he's just afraid of the new environment he has, can't touch him coz everytime he sees our hand he tries to scratch and bites us foreal. But now, 2nd day at home, he likes to be pet.😊 A bit nervous/panic sometimes when there is a noise even just a bit of noise somewhere near him..😆 We'll try to do this steps, planning to bathe him today. Hope he won't get mad.😬😄 Thank you very much for the tips 🤗

[@TheCatButler]

awww wish you luck!

[@Slightapex]

That video looks nice but the one that I’m working with is 19 pounds of feral fury. He was born in the woods and now he is an indoor outdoor cat. I’m gonna try it out.

[@Miraclewillhappen2024]

I saw a cat in a outside cafe....I like it so I brought it home...its my first to have pets ...and I have to shower it after work...so I needed that video thanks
