First time bathing a kitten

Which kitten video would you like to see next? Please leave a comment below😍

The other kittens in the background are like "holy crap Im next"

It breaks my heart to see this little angel meow and cry so loudly...but it was necessary to clean the fleas and dirt. The end of the video the kitten seemed so calm, clean and sleepy. Looked like a pretty baby once all clean! I really hope this little angel now has a good life and is receiving the love and care and delicious food.

Couple of tips from an experienced emergency foster: 1. You don't typically want to creat a bubble bath for kittens. It makes them more nervous because they can't see the bottom and it makes them feel vulnerable to water based preditors. Also, the sometimes try to bite the bubbles or drink the water. Since they are little, they can get diarrhea from this easily. If there is enough soap for bubble in the bath. If you are trying to kill fleas with the soap, there are other safer ways to do so. 2. Don't stop holding the kitten. If he panics and jumps you might not get him in time and he could fall out of the sink and get hurt. 3. Related to the previous statement. Hold or massage the back of the kittens neck during the bath. It will help to keep them calm. 4. If it's a stray, I recommend grooming gloves for the first bath. As you wash off any infection, blood, grime, poop, and fleas, it can get into any tiny scratches the kitten may give you. That's not safe. 5. Always have a latger pre-warmed towel for swaddling after drying a bit with a smaller rag. Also, a prewarmed bottle ready for after a bath. It will help to soothe the little one after the ordeal.

I love the thumbnail. The kitten is screaming "no! This can't be happening. I am adverse to water. Save me".😂

Kitten: "Siblings, help! The human is doing something to me I don't enjoy!" Kitten's Siblings: "Stop doing whatever you're doing to them!"

Looks like the cat needed it. Look at that water.

Little baby mewling melted my heart...❤❤❤

For such a tiny kitty, he sure was dirty! Look at that bath water! With our 3 month old kittens, we put warm water in the tub, about 3-4 inches, and then set them in the shallow end so they could explore first before the washing started. You know cats, they are so curious. We would talk very quietly to them and wash them while they snooped around, and before you know it, they seemed to be enjoying it. After that, we covered their faces with a dry wash rag, then a warm rinse and it was over. Surprisingly, our big Golden Retriever-Lab mix dog kept watch on the whole process and when it was her turn for a bath, both kittens jumped in with her to share the experience!

Kitten: "This sucks, doesn't it!?" Offscreen Kitten: "Yes, it does!"

Rule no.1: don't fill the sink so much, the kitten thought he was in danger of drowning. The water is to go up to the kitten's stomach, no further. Be careful when washing the kitten's face, never splash water over his forehead, he needs his eyes to see. However, you kinda got the drying part right. Just take great care not to wrap the towel round the kitten too tightly, you didn't cover his head which was good. When drying off, let the kitten lie on top of the towel without you touching him. Let him calm himself down, and then gently rub him dry. That's the way to make sure the kitten is safe when washing and drying him.

I just love the sounds that kittens make. They're so cute. I've a tabby named BeBe Bleu. She's 1.5 years old & I've had her since she was 2 months. She warms my heart so much.

I love watching animals be bathed and cleaned. It's like I can see and feel the relief of being clean come over them. Especially after being dried off and fed. They just go to sleep..Clean and full🙂
