      I have a British Short Hair and its upsetting me because i look after him so much and all he wants to do is run away from our family. He's using us and theres nothing i can do about it :(

      My cat is part British shorthair, I think, and he didn't like to be petted when he was little, so I worked him up to it while he was eating. I think he had to be desensitized a little bit.

    WARNING!!!: It's wise to start the bathing process as a kitten, so the cat gets used to it. That will make it much easier. Otherwise you run the risk of needing a blood transfusion every month. That's pretty costly lol

    Maybe you should bathe a cat or maybe you shouldn't. All I can see is the cat really loves the attention and is perfectly content. I have had British Shorthairs and they tend to be mild mannered and very self composed. They are a wonderful breed and this is a very handsome boy.

    He really has not had any special training, but it is true that he takes baths a week before going to an international exhibition. Approximately he takes a bath two to three times a year.

      He is a beautiful cat. Mine is 15 months old and white. I'm gathering up the courage to bathe her. I introduced her to an empty bath and she loved that. I hope I haven't left it too late, we only got her 2 weeks ago and she is a real sweetheart.

    • @sciencenotstigma9534

      @@sobiaamber8473I started bathing my Burmese on his first day home. He got into something immediately, and made a mess! British Shorthairs, I never had to worry about doing that. My random bred cats and fosters have been wild cards, when it comes to bath time. Most are fearful. I hope it went well. The treat at the end is a great idea! I also only bathe mine for show, if they get into something, or are old and ill.

    I don't know what you are all on about if she wants to groom her cat she can, and she handles it completely fine, get fucked will you?
    Tired of people trying to push off their beliefs as fact onto others. If you look at the cat it is clearly quite happy to be getting cleaned. Cats do clean themselves yes, and their saliva contains the chemical which bothers allergy sufferers. A weekly bath will not HARM the cat in any way and it will make it much more friendly to those with allergies. Maybe she has bad allergies and really likes cats? Ever think of that one? No probably not.

  • @ChronicleHearts
    @ChronicleHearts Před 10 lety +42

    Something I need to say for all the people who say cats don't need baths:
    Cats are like dogs but they lick more so people generally think cats don't need baths but this is very wrong, cats do need a bath just not as much as dogs. Cats also should have their eyes cleaned because the 'gunk' (if too much piles up) can cause irritation to the eyes. Clipping their claws should be done too (but it doesn't need to be often) because sometimes cats claws will break because of maybe climbing or scratching something so it can catch on the skin or make it uncomfortable to walk around.
    You don't HAVE to clean the ears but if your cat gets lots of ear wax then just a quick clean could do some good.
    If you never bathe you cat (then stuff that you can't see) dirt and other nasty stuff can build up and you'll never know and this could cause fleas to appear.
    I'm not saying you should ALWAYS bathe your cat but giving it a quick bathe every now and then will do your cat some good.
    I hope this helps people who don't know whether they should bathe their cat or not!

    • @louisehart3480
      @louisehart3480 Před 9 lety +2

      Cats only need bathing if they are ill or covered in something they cannot remove. Bathing is terribly traumatic & unnecessary for a cat *****

    • @ChronicleHearts
      @ChronicleHearts Před 9 lety +8

      You don't have to bathe your cat every week just every few weeks, it doesn't have to be a long bath just a quick one is good for the cat and, no, it isn't a 'traumatic experience' some cats do love water.

      ***** www.aspca.org/pet-care/cat-care/bathing-your-cat
      With her built-in grooming tools (tongue and teeth, of course), your fastidious feline is well-equipped to tackle her own haircare needs. But if she is very dirty or gets into something sticky or smelly, you may need to give her a bath - that's when you do it.

    My BSH, Chessie, loved her daily baths, in her last year of life. Same as my Burmese, though he only needed them for a few months. When they know they need help to clean themselves, they understand. Especially if you’ve created that trust, which you clearly have done early. It soothed their aching joints to be warm and weightless. 💙

      My cat would easily get overstimulated, too. I had to pet him while he ate. I think maybe he liked his ears to be scratched more than to be petted, so that also helped him work up to it. For a treat, I give him a dab of goat cheese.

    I never went so far in bathing my cat unless he got dirty. I used an oatmeal-based shampoo on occasion, but that was about it. I tried using a blow dryer once, and he slapped it out of my hand.
    I couldn't put him through that experience regularly. Feeling his heart pump through the towel when I dried him off was too much. We were still bros after baths though, so the "trauma" was one he could live with better than I.
    He loved being groomed in general, though, and I never had a problem clipping his nails, cleaning his teeth, getting rid of that gunk in his eyes, or brushing him. He didn't even mind having warm water poured on him when I was just trying to clean up small, difficult to reach spots in his fur.
