Some of you know I found and then adopted a kitten. I also declared when I posted it intially that I really hate flea's yet at the time the kitten was apparently flea free. Well they have appeared, not sure how because my house did not have them. Now the kitty is maybe 8-10 weeks old and nearly every product out there says do not use on kittens under 12 weeks of age. Same with flea collers, the drops, and the stuff you feed em. Well I called the vet and asked and she told me of a shampoo that was pretty much ok for kittens. Off to the store I went.
Now to bring you up to speed I wanted the kitten to be ok with baths. So on the second night I placed her in the sink and let the water rise. She had a ball and actually played in it while I washed her off. After that every other day I would just bring her into the shower with me. She would run around by my feet while I washed and then would let me wash her off. This was great I figured.
I return home from the store with the flea shampoo. I get kitty's body all wet in the shower and then pick up the bottle. Now it says to start at the kittens head and work your way to the tail, massaging it into their fur. Then let it sit for 5 minutes.
It really should of said start with a bucket of warm water in the parking lot of an ER because your kitten is going to turn into a wet slippery tasminian devil with kruger gloves due to it having its head wet.
Needless to say I endured 5+ minutes of wild kitten claw wounds. So a little warning out to those that wash cats. They really REALLY do not like getting their heads wet.
Now onto the next question.
Is it mean and or cruel to put a bell on your kitten?
