They often catch and bring back a toy thrown to them in the water and enjoy playing in water. Besides this, they love getting in front of a garden hose being sprayed or washed in an open area and trying to cool off by getting themselves wet. Cats do not like water except for Turkish Van cats. They clean their whole body thanks to the papillae on their tongue and the antiseptic properties of their oral mucosa. Therefore, they do not need to be bathed. When you try to force them to bathe in water, they lose trust in you and this trauma can lead to urinary incontinence. Cats\u2019 fur dries very hard, and a hair dryer doesn&#8217;t help. They are also afraid of the noise of the hair dryer. If they are washed in winter, they are more likely to get sick. As you wash away the oil layer on their skin, health problems such as irritation or eczema may occur. If they are contaminated with a chemical substance and licking themselves would pose a threat to them, there is of course no harm in bathing them with special shampoo for cats. The important thing here is to cut your friend&#8217;s nails before bathing. Wash your cat in a basin of still, warm water instead of running water and always use cat shampoo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the summer months, you&#8217;ve probably seen our dog friends taking a dip in the pool or the sea with us.
