Pet cats are good companions for people. They not only combine cute, cute, docile and well-behaved, but also make us feel happy and reduce the pressure of life. Taking care of a pet cat requires a lot of energy, and taking a bath is a very important aspect. However, kittens may have stress responses during bathing. If you do not pay attention to care and treatment, it will cause harm to your pet. So, what should I do if my kitten responds to stress when taking a bath?
1. Control the bathing time. Do not take too long. Kittens are under too much pressure and may easily cause stress reactions.
Usually, the bathing time should not exceed 30 minutes.
The temperature of the bath water should be controlled between 35-38℃. Overheating and cooling will have adverse effects on their bodies.
2. Master bathing skills. Cats have relatively delicate fur, so you need to pay attention to skills when taking a bath.
First, gently untie the dust and foreign objects tangled in the hair on the cat.
Next shower with warm water to gradually adapt to the water temperature.
Then wash your body with bath solution, be careful not to let water enter the ears, mouth and nose, and other parts that are prone to infection, so as not to cause inflammation.
Immediately afterwards, use a dry towel to suck the water on the cat's body and blow dry the cat's hair to make the cat's body dry.
3. Give extra attention and care. When a kitten takes a bath, he may be nervous and scared, and he cannot convey his emotions.
So, giving extra attention and care can reduce the stress response in the kitten.
You can rinse your body with warm water before preparing to take a bath to adjust to the water temperature; you can also play gentle music or speech to soothe its emotions.
After taking a shower, spray some pet moisturizing liquid on the kitten to make the skin smooth and comfortable.
4. Understand the kitten's body language When a kitten reacts with a stress, its body language may give obvious signals.
The vigilant eyes, the arching of the cat's body, and the hair raised from the back all indicate their uneasiness.
When these situations occur, the owner should stop the bathing process in time and comfort the cat and do not cause excessive stress.
If the cat's mood is still unstable, use cat soothing agent to relieve stress.
In short, kittens are very cute pets, but they need careful care and protection.
When bathing them, the owner needs to master the skills of bathing and the details of taking care of the kitten.
In addition, it is necessary to understand the kitten's body language and pay attention to changes in their emotions.
Only by caring for our pets can they live a healthier and happier life.
