First time bathing a kitten

[tinykitten]

I didn't expect my kitten to get so much attention. Thank you for loving my little cat!💛

The one in the back " shut up im trying to sleep " lol

This litten is so sweet when it's crying out loudly AND then growls a bit as if to say:
I warn you, human, I'm a dangerous beast!
And all the time it's supported by the other crying kitten in the background. How precious they both are. A real present from God.

I love how brave the kitten is. You can hear they're more annoyed than scared. May they have a long and happy life.

I love how it looks like the kitten is barely struggling, but is meowing so loudly

It sounds like the kitten is saying, "Wow! Wow! Wow!"

I saw this on a vet's video and it really helped my cat! Put a towel on the bottom of the tub/sink and the cat feels more secure because he has something to stand on that isn't slippery! Kitty shampoo is a good idea too, it's gentle and safe.

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.

Hurts me heart to hear him cry 😢

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.

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

[Plathismo]

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

[nicknorthcutt]

Such a precious little soul, it makes me want to cry just seeing how much he cries for his momma 🥺❤️

[NaiTaiDai]

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!"

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

This is criticism that is meant to be helpful. I know this video is a year old, but I didn't see anyone else saying this: you should NEVER bathe a kitten/cat in soap or shampoo meant for humans. Dawn dish soap is an exception to be used sparingly as it kills fleas, but human shampoos have a different PH level to cats and can severely dry out their skin. You should only use use shampoos specifically made for cats/kittens when bathing. The same goes for dogs.

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.
