My kitty was adopted at 8 years old after being in a shelter. He was neglected and abused for his whole life so I'm assuming he was never introduced to water. I've tried putting him in a bath before, slowly, and it was the one and only time I've ever heard him hiss. Recently, we moved to a new house with a front lawn that needs to be redone, but won't be for a few more months. My little man loves going outside and getting his paws in the grass, only, now he comes in all muddy and dirty. I've tried cleaning him off with a damp rag and a brush, but it doesn't work properly. He needs to be washed in a bath, I don't want him to get sick from ingesting dirt. Does anyone have any advice on how to introduce him to going in a bath? He's very close to us and loves being held, cuddled and petted, but as soon as water is involved, all of his trust in us is gone!
I just got my cat fixed today, she is 2 years old and her stomach hangs down a decent amount. It hits the floor before the rest of her body when she goes to lay. I just want to make sure this won't make her wound get infected because there isn't much I can do about it otherwise put a bandaid there. When I got her back they didn't say it was going to be an issue they just said she needed to lose weight and she was at risk of diabetes and I needed to feed her less but she really isn't that fat and I took her to the vet a month ago and they never said anything bad about her weight.
