Does My Kitten Need To Be Bathed?
Somebody Close the Door, I Feel a Draft!
In short, the answer is 'no', unless your kitten has gotten into something it shouldn't lick off of its fur – like a chemical. Cats, in general, do a fantastic job at grooming themselves.
If you must bathe your kitten, then make sure that you keep the environment warm – that is 90+ degrees (F), else, you run the risk of making your kitten sick. Kitten's don't have the ability to fully regulate their internal body temperatures.
Make sure that the bathing area is totally free from drafts. So, beware of the kitchen sink that is below a window, as an example.
In terms of bathing detergent for your kitten…considering using a mild dish washing liquid like Lemon Joy. The citrus oil in the dish soap kills fleas, which is an added benefit.
Make the bath as quick as possible. When you are done, wrap the kitten in a towel and towel-dry.
