Put some cotton in the ears. Gently massage the kitty with 1-part shampoo and 5-part water with handheld spray. Dry your cat at a warm place and then reward your cat with a treat for a peaceful and successful bathing session.
Brushing your Cat
Brushing is not only necessary for removing dirt, dead hair but also removes skin flakes and stimulates blood circulation, thus improving the overall condition of the skin.
