One of the reasons kittens are loved by many is that they look very clean. For people with a cleanliness obsession who also like small animals, this is indeed great. However, anyone who has raised kittens knows that no matter how clean kittens appear, we still need to bathe them regularly. So, at how many months can kittens be bathed? Let’s find out the correct answer below.

When kittens are just born, their bodily resistance is relatively weak, and there are many parasites living inside and outside their bodies. Therefore, it is best not to bathe kittens under three months old. If the kitten is really too dirty, we can gently wipe it with a warm towel. If the kitten’s fur gets wet during wiping, it should be placed under the sun to dry or dried with a hairdryer in time.

After kittens reach three months, we can bathe them. However, it is important not to bathe kittens frequently because there is a layer of oil on the surface of their skin that protects their skin health. This layer also serves to waterproof and keep dust away. If we bathe kittens frequently, this protective oil layer will be washed away, causing their skin to become dry and making skin diseases more likely to occur.

In addition, when bathing kittens, we must use cat-specific bathing products. Never use the bathing products that we use ourselves because human bathing products can damage a kitten’s fur. This point must be taken seriously; do not wait for severe consequences to appear before regretting.

In fact, knowing at what age kittens can be bathed is only part of the common knowledge needed for raising kittens. Besides that, there are many other kitten-raising facts we need to understand. I hope everyone can spend more time learning about this. Only then can you be considered a qualified pet owner.
