Yes. You dont need to bathe a cat very often since they do clean themselves, but if you like to and dont have any cat shampoo around, baby shampoo is actually a very good alternative.Is it safe to give a cat a bath with baby shampoo!?

Is it safe to give a cat a bath with baby shampoo!?
Yes, but keep it out of the cat's eyes. As long as you're going through all the pain of giving the cat a bath, it's summertime, why not go get cat flea shampoo instead.
It's always best to use pet shampoos on your pet. If you must use something else, use a mild dishwashing liquid. Human shampoos can dry your cat's skin out.
Washing a cat should only be done if they are very dirty. Cats tend to keep themselves very clean on their own.
It's best to use pet shamppo, even baby shampoo is really too strong for pets. In an emergency, go for it.
But for more common bathing you really do need pet shampoo.
Yes, but it might claw you to death.
Its best to use a shampoo that is specifically designed for cats as they have many natural oils in their coats that may be stripped away using human shampoo, causing skin problems. Baby shampoo will work in a pinch though...if you absolutely must bathe your cat.
the cat will be fine but you might bleed to death from bites and clawing
cats clean them selfs. Why would you want to wash your cat?
The cat will hate you, but yes.
Yes it is.But you need to know how to handle the cat when you wash it.
Sure, just don't get it in kitty's eyes. Some cats hear the running water and think it's another cat hissing. So get the tub or what you use full before bringing kitty in. Clip the claws back, and get ready for a kitty fight! MEOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW ! RIP! SHRED ! WHY did you DO this to me!? Then kitty will look like a drowned rat. Good luck, wear a long sleeve shirt and GLOVES - Yes I mean GLOVES and get em wet. Not rubber gloves - THICK cloth ones.
Yes, but you might find baby bath easier to rinse out; dilute either with warm water in a jug before putting it on to her fur.
It will work if your cat has to have a bath Baby shampoos contain an ingredient that numbs the eyes making the suds sting less, but they strip essential oils from animals coats. Baby shampoo is just shampoo with an eye number.

I wouldn't use cat shampoo.
But watered down Kitten shampoo.
Because their skin is very sensitive.
Or you can go too a vet and find a rat shampoo, if there are any.
Just don't use any of it on ears and head.
Mix clover into her meals, its a natural pesticide.
Hope this helps your rattie.

I use dog flea%26amp;tick shampoo whenever my rats have bug problems. Cat or kitten shampoo is fine.
Go to your local pet shop.
Cat flea shampoo can be too much for a rat and can harm them!
No, just go to Petco and buy rodent shampoo.

Is it healthy/safe to mix shampoo? (Selsun Blue and Garnier Fructis conditioner)?
It is healthy/safe to use Selsun Blue as a shampoo, and Garnier Fructis Conditioner? Also, is it okay to go:
One day: Selsun Blue / Garnier Fructis Conditioner
Next day: Garnier Shampoo / Garnier Conditioner
And keep on switching?Is it healthy/safe to mix shampoo? (Selsun Blue and Garnier Fructis conditioner)?
Of course it's safe to mix shampoos and conditioners.
I've found my hair is actually healthier when I mix up my shampoos and conditioners. Use one combo of shampoos/conditioners for a couple days, then switch.Is it healthy/safe to mix shampoo? (Selsun Blue and Garnier Fructis conditioner)?
It is safe to mix shampoo with another conditioner. But you hair will come out smelling 2 different things, but it's all right. You can keep on switching if you want too. It's all up to you really.
Yes, totally safe.
Of course! I do the same thing! I mix mane 'n tail and gliss kur. Since the mane shampoo and conditioner left my hair really thick feeling and coarse I mixed it with gliss kur (shampoo=total repair, conditioner=liquid silk) which leaves my so silky but makes my already thin hair flat. The result? Thick feeling hair that looked and felt like silk! (all I did was put a doulop of each shampoo and a doulop of each conditioner and put them in!) So unless you are using a shampoo for medical reasons (it would have chemicals) it will be ok.

I shampoo my hair everyday, is that safe? Will my hair fall out wen im older?Is there a safe one i can use?
I hope it's safe, I wash mine everyday. Of course, I have oily hair--hence the washing Every day-- so if you tend to have dry hair, you can rub--I know this sounds gross-- egg yolk or mayonnaise in it. RINSE THOUGH!I shampoo my hair everyday, is that safe? Will my hair fall out wen im older?Is there a safe one i can use?
I shampoo my hair everyday, and it's fine.
For some people, it may just dry it out though. Your hair won't fall out, and the only consequence is that your hair may get dryI shampoo my hair everyday, is that safe? Will my hair fall out wen im older?Is there a safe one i can use?
if ur hair is too clean...u can get lice
No, they say you shouldn't do it just to give your hair a break, and it just healthy, but I wash mine everyday and even though idealy you shouldn't, I have to but it doesnt result in anything like hair falling out or anytihng
seriously dude use the search engine before you ask questions like this
no, ur totally fine.
you SHOULD NOT shampoo your hair everyday, it strips your hair of the natural oils it needs to stay healthy!
I think it depends on the length and how oily/dry my hair is. When my hair was long, I could only wash it every 3 days. Now that I have short hair, I wash it every day. Also, if you use a lot of gel or mousse you have to wash it more. Sunsilk No Major Issues shampoo, Dove Cool Moisture, and Herbal Essences Drama Clean are some good ones.
That's safe. It's fine for your hair unless it seems like it's damaging it. It will only damage it if your hair is not used to being washed everyday
This should be safe. Massage aloe Vera gel over the scalp,leave it for about one hour.After this rinse the hair with warm water.It gives excellent results for hair loss if one uses this massage at least 3-4 times a week. Check out

Is it safe to use human shampoo on cats??
No it is not safe to use human shampoo on cats. we have a different PH to out skin then cats do and when we use our shampoo on their skin it will dry their skin out very drastically. Is it safe to use human shampoo on cats??
For a once in awhile application, it should be fine, but cats skin are different Ph than a human's skin. So using a humane shampoo regularly could actually dry out your cats skin. Its better to get the shampoo made for pets from a petstore.
Other thing to be concerned about - human shampoo is made to be rinsed out of the hair. If you can't get all the shampo out of your cat, he could lick himself, ingest the shampoo, and end up being poisoned or sick from human shampoo.Is it safe to use human shampoo on cats??
I have heard of using human shampoo on dogs, but not on cats. Either way, you shouldn't do it. you should buy some pet shampoo from a pet store, or from the vet. To get rid of fleas, you should use flea powder, or flea medicine from your vet, but not human shampoo. It can irritate the cats sensitive skin.
I responded to your other question about puppy shampoo and hold firm to my answer. Stick to something from the Vet. But if you are really in a bind and are trying to clean off something nasty - try a small amount of Johnson's Tearless Baby Shampoo or Dawn Dish Detergent. And rinse well - avoiding the eyes and ears. And Never blow dry - they can over heat.
Good Luck.
it's not recommended for cats/animals. i wouldn't. so wait and get feline shampoo at the store. but if yur in a desperate situation and need to use it right away for some reason, it will be alright. be sure to rinse the cat real well.
Ask yourself this. Would I use cat shampoo on my hair? Probably not, their skin and fur are different from ours. Stick with a shampoo designed for cats.
If is all you have on hand, it is not going to be hazardous to his health. A good alternative is baby shampoo.
NO it's not. My GF works at an animal hospital (vet) and there are specific kinds of shampoo that you need to get for animals or you will dry out their skin
I seriously doubt it even know animal shampoo cost a lot you rather be safe then sorry
Yes it is my daughter is a vet and she says it fine as long as you only use a small amount
Yes ... just MAKE SURE to rince throughly.
