Thread: Shampoo suggestions

It depends on why you need to bath the cat!

Kittens seem to be ok with baby shampoo and complete rinsing - the "no more tears" is best.

For particularly nasty gunk, Fairy washing up liquid and a lot of rinsing will cut through practically anything, but it is not terribly kind to the fur - only for embedded earwax on the head in my vet's recommendations.

For more "normal" washing, the best I have found so far is Nootie dog shampoo which says in the small print on the back that it is safe for cats too. I have used it about 20 times so far (in just over a month - ear mite drops went everywhere) and the cat is still alive.
I have just bought a spray conditioner to try as well. It comes in two fragrances - sniff the bottles before you buy because the smell is EXTREMELY persistent and you will be living with it for a couple of weeks, at least!
