Condition your cat's fur using a specially formulated conditioner for cats. It is important to note you should never use products made for dogs on your cat's fur, as these products can harm your cat. By conditioning your cat, you will ensure their skin doesn't become dry and itchy. Just as when you select the shampoo, it is important to select a conditioner that works well for your cat's skin type and level of sensitivity. Rinse the conditioner thoroughly to ensure there is no product left on their skin after the bath. You may need to rinse your cat several times to make sure all of the shampoo and conditioner is removed. Your cat will likely start licking as soon as the bath is over, and ingesting shampoo and conditioner can endanger their health. Dry your cat well, making sure to use fresh, clean, warm towels. It may help to confine your cat to a small area in order for them to stay warm while their skin and fur dry.
