How To Wash Scared/Stray Cat

[@KelliBean322]

We just took in a stray and this helped SO MUCH !! he’s a very sweet and affectionate cat already so fingers crossed bath time will be okay 😂😂

[@svetlanadiaries]

Thank you for watching and I hope this will help you. If it’s a must to give bath then go for it, the reason I used shower to rinse is because cat wasn’t aggressive, she was scared during wash process but she was okay as she knew I mean her no harm. After few washes cats begin to understand what this process is for. Let me know how it went 🥳☺️

[@spoongerxlp8934]

was he okay with the bath? im about to wash my cat today and hes exactly like yours and only been in my house 3 times, he trusts me as ive been feeding him for a few months. i have an idea how this will work and thank you for helping!

[@svetlanadiaries]

Yes the pet was all good and clean. Good luck, take it easy and it will be okay😊

[@jerrynoble4042]

​@spoongerxlp8934 how'd it go?

[@Desyx14]

Literally just adopted a stray, saw this in my first google search, and was so impressed at how helpful this was!

[@svetlanadiaries]

Oh thank you so much and I am so happy for you! I wish you much love with your new pet 🤩

[@AshleyMaklin]

You are perfect with the cat! It is so hard sometimes to communicate with another species but your warmth and you care is evident beyond language :)

[@svetlanadiaries]

Aw! Thank you so much!🤩😍

[@GloriaW888]

My stray cat would only let me touch the top of her head with two fingers for 5 seconds and she has claws. 6 years later I can pet her on her terms. I would suggest a tall bucket filled with clean warm water and a large cup to use for rinsing instead of using the scary shower head. Also I wouldn’t bath her head until the cat starts to like baths or it could turn into a blood bath or an unsuccessful rinsing of the eyes. 😻

[@TheRaddestB]

I'm not at this stage yet. He just decided to come in the house yesterday, but only for a little bit. I'm taking him to the vet next month. He did let me clean him with a washcloth today, so progress 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 if he wants to stay after he's healthy and clean, he'll have a home.

[@svetlanadiaries]

Aw so good on you. I hope you will be come great pals with pet 🫶🏻

We found a cat in the storm drain yesterday and I took him in and this video helped me feel a little bit better about having to bathe him today! I’m still a little nervous, but so is he so we’ll get through it. Thank you!!

[@svetlanadiaries]

You are welcome and it’s so nice of you to take a little pet in need. Hopefully everything will go well 🙏🏻

i have an outside cat and we haven’t washed him in forever, he started smelling funny lol

[@CatherineAmyStark-bf6qs]

Thank you for your video and for being so kind. I had to trap a cat on July 4 as it was walking on 3 legs only. He needed a bath but i didnt want to traumatized him but your video helped me get him through his first bath. He is doing well gaining weight and his fractured leg is healing, he actually started purring midway through his bath. You are so very helpful

[@svetlanadiaries]

Thank you very much and also big respect to you for helping a pet and getting better. Well done✨️💛

[@gritskennedy5007]

Yes, it is essential no loud noises no shouting no loud praises even saying something loving in a loud high pitched excitable voice plus they feel the nervous high pitched excited voice!

[@yesmaam3399]

[@ditiworld1215]

I am thinking the same while watching this video

[@alexplaytop]

Probably most careful washing cat I've ever seen

[@tinytsun]

We're about to pick up two of our neighbor's cats, starting with just one first, and even though they stay around the house, I'd still define them as strays since they run all over the neighborhood and scare easily when you near them. I'm doing some last-minute research since my mom up and decided she wants them for the field mice and such; but being that I'm already a dog mom of 2, I can't let our new furbabies give my current furbabies any ticks or fleas, as well as not wanting them to be dirty while roaming the house

[@Steve-yg5dq]

Smelly caaaat smelly caaattt.....

[@svetlanadiaries]

[@maryk446]

That colored polka dot toilet seat cover must be in case one or more kitties wants to play the cat version of Twister!

[@sassy-savvy]

My rescue and feral kitties were always calmer during baths than my 100% domesticated adopted ones. Maybe it was because they were siamese which had more energy than the average cat? XD

[@passenger7532]

no problemo amigo lol .you did really good but a trick ı have to give you. it is actually easier if you put a towel under her legs. if it gets slippery they fight more

[@svetlanadiaries]

Oh yes! That’s a really good tip! And pets won’t slide in a bath but be more steadier! Thank you 🤩

[@raerae2283]

As of this morning my stray cat is now indoors. She’s a senior and I’ve been taking care of her but lately she refuses to eat or drink anything unless I bring her things inside. So she needs a bath and thank god she has no flees… but I fear she will scratch me up 😭she has snuck into my house for the past month and I guess she found her new home 😂❤️

[@svetlanadiaries]

If she is super scared then it’s best not do yourself and if need wash badly then vet can do it but if she not aggressive and able to manage nicely then it’s okay. It’s all about how she reacts but other cats are more agressive scared than others when it comes to water.

[@cooky_2076]

Or take her to the Vet for a check up and bath.

[@NEELSAN76]

Thank you for the tips but you should really get some caulking around your bathtub to avoid future mold and corrosion.

[@svetlanadiaries]

Thank you, my mom already done something so the water won’t let the sides rot/mould and stuff 😃

[@lalhruaitluanga9035]

[@AmandainChrist88]

Hi here just looking for support a cat adopted me . She was left by neighbors . I think she has ticks on her . I do have to keep her separate for ten days to make sure she isn’t sick that’s what was told to me . Just have health anxiety and needed support . But I’m taking her in can’t see her out there . I don’t think the owner bothered to get her vet care so I don’t want to get scratched or bite until I know she okay . Just support would be great thanks a lot. .

[@svetlanadiaries]

Make sure she is calm cat, giver her some food, pet her, have a look at her and how she looks. If you concerned, bring to vet, just explain that she was abandoned. Hopefully they can look after her and treat if needed but if she looks clean, then she will self clean herself. Just make sure feed and water so the pet can be looked after. All the best 🙏🏻

[@linondgacita1395]

Hi love your video about bathing a stray cat 🥰 sub already and I'm just curious on how you cut the nails of you cat

[@svetlanadiaries]

Hello. Thank you very much and thank you for your interest ☺️ I don’t clip cats nails, I think it’s good for them to have sharp nails as it helps for them to jump and grab onto stuff and also protect themselves if they do go outside. Of course sharp nails doesn’t help when cat is playing because then human arm is destroyed in scratches(lol) but I made peace with that 😅🤩

[@neenaprahallad6934]

[@disapearvnce]

we found a cat that fell off our roof, her mother didn't come back after hours, so we took her/he in and made a bed out of a box and towels, and tried to feed but it wouldn't eat or drink, after half an hour, the mother came and started smelling and licking the kitten, after a while the mother and kit (the cat was limping on the back left leg,) but after a while he started to walk with his mother, but the mother wanted the cat to get back up on the roof were he fell, but he couldn't get up because he was too weak, i didn't want to let the kitten go to early since it was badly hurt, (there we no vets or pet docs near or open) he got stuck in the names front yard and was cold as ice! the fence was locked so we couldn't get it back, and the mother just left the kitten then one of are family friends came and jumped the fence and grabbed the cat, he started to run a bit but still limping on his back left leg he also started to eat but not a lot then his mother just ran away like really far and didn't come back, so we went on a night bike ride and came back but the mother was no we're to been seen so we're just taking care of the kit when it is strong enough thanks for the video btw! he is very calm and friendly but likes to hid in dark places! thanks for the video just not sure how he will react in water, since we only have cold water we're i am right now,

[@svetlanadiaries]

Привет из Индии! У Тебя милый котенок😊Your bathing technique is excellent! Я многому научился от Тебя. I wonder, is it really good to give some food during bathing to distract the cat's attention from bath? Пока☺️

Hello! Thank you very much! 😊I would say a little treat maybe to help to calm down and feel at ease but probably not too much food because I would imagine cat feeling nervous and full tummy could be upset. 😊 Thank You for watching!🤩

i adopted a beautiful white stray cat whos about a year old and he needs a bath before i decide to let him sleep on my bed yk. but i didnt cut his nails and his mouth is pretty dirty. he runs away when water touches him. i was wondering if you have any advice to bath him, bc i really dont like painful scratches with unclean nails 😔 how do i get him used to water? i tried putting his water in the bathroom on a wet floor so he would get used to water on his feet, but he shakes his paws like he touched something disgusting and runs out of there as fast as he can after he drinks lol

[@svetlanadiaries]

Hello. Maybe first try a warm cloth to clean him gently just to get used to cleaning and clean the dirty areas. Later he will wash himself, cats grooming themselves and usually clean. But because he is a stray, try gently with warm water cloth just for a start.

[@yesmaam3399]

@@svetlanadiaries that was literally so helpful. he kept walking away but i was able to somehow get the black dirty spots off his head with a warm wet napkin though it kept getting cold lol. but his fur is definitely cleaner and ill gradually keep adding more and more water on him along with the wet napkin so he gets used to it. thank you so much!!

Thank you for the amazing tips ❤ you helped me a lot 😍 but is a bath all they need if they smell bad? I have a stray cat and he smells so I was worried if he has any health problems :( should I just clean him or take him to the vet first?

[@svetlanadiaries]

Hello. Thank you for watching. ☺️ I would say if cat looks healthy and not aggressive then can wash him first but if you feel that he could be unhealthy or he looks unhealthy, then it’s best to bring to vet for a check up.

[@Doha_ayad]

@@svetlanadiaries He's not aggressive at all, in fact he's so clingy ( he keeps rubbing himself against me and loves when I pet him) I was just worried about the bad smell. I'll follow your steps and try to wash him, thank you again😍

[@svetlanadiaries]

Yes, just give him a gentle wash and see how he is. Bad smell probably because outdoor cats go everywhere and eventually get dirty. Let me know how you get on. Hope it all goes well. Have a nice day! ☺️

[@svetlanadiaries]

Generally you dont need to wash cats as they are hygienic unless cat is really dirty. If he has temper then I would say if cat requires wash then could ask vet on where can bring cat for a wash. I only washed at my own risk and don’t reccomend as some cats can be more aggressive ☺️

[@anneaileen406]

There is a stray cat behind my house and ive started to feed it and I have 4 dogs and the cat clearly has fleas and has started to rub up on my dogs and I can't have my dogs having fleas because then the fleas will affect my father because he's allergic to fleas
