Why on earth would anyone want to wash a cat? you may ask. It sounds like a situation fraught with danger! Well, surprisingly, cats can get just as dirty or flea infested as dogs and sometimes you have no choice but to either wipe them down with special wipes or to bathe them. Wiping is relatively easy but washing is not. A word of warning though, cats’ fur contains special oils to protect and "waterproof" it so never wash your can more than once a month.
