Many cats naturally dislike water, so not liking baths is normal. To reduce fear: first, expose a kitten to water early, wiping paws and body with warm water from a few months old so it gets used to it. Second, prepare cat shampoo, towels, and a tub with warm water.

Then bring the cat to the bathroom and play happily first; when relaxed, gently place it in the tub. Finally, keep movements gentle, do not bathe too long, and give a treat after to build positive associations with bathing.
