Cat Forum / General Topics / April 2005Is it advisable to shampoo my cat occasionally?
My cat tends to become a bit smelly after a while. Is it ok to take him in the shower and give him a good shampoo with normal human shampoo occasionally? Thanks RickyC To email me remove the dog from my address. > My cat tends to become a bit smelly after a while.

I recommend you use a cat shampoo. Why is your cat smelly? Is it an unneutered male? Neutering will help. Some foods will make a cat smell - changing foods helps.

How does cat shampoo differ from human shampoo (apart from the price)? >>Why is your cat smelly? >>Is it an unneutered male?

Also there is not as much perfume in cat shampoo as there is in a lot of human shampoos. If he is dirty regularly, you could try using normal water without shampoo to remove the dirt. Shampoos can dry out the fur and the skin if used too often. Camilla |
