My cat is suddenly lethargic, maybe from a bath, deworming, or moving
Environment change, deworming, or bath chill can cause lethargy; keep warm and give probiotics for gut irritation. Provide a calm space and favorite food; see a vet if no improvement or other signs.
My fold cat keeps meowing, especially in the bathroom
Constant meowing can be health pain (fold cats have bone disease), anxiety/stress, needs, or heat. Watch movement, comfort it, meet needs, and see a vet if pain suspected.
My cat acted weird after a bath and then vomited; seems like a cold
Post-bath lethargy, odd urination, and vomiting may be from stress or a cold. Keep it warm and calm, give probiotics, and see a vet if it worsens.
Cat has ringworm; can I use selenium sulfide for medicated bath?
Ringworm is fungal; use antifungal meds. Selenium sulfide is for humans and may severely irritate cat skin, so don't use it. For severe cases, use pet antifungal (ketoconazole) baths and oral meds.
How to give a dog a medicated bath
Use a large tub, water at 37-39°C with medicated powder per instructions. Let the dog settle in up to the neck (avoid eyes/mouth), massage skin, soak 10-15 minutes, rinse, towel, and blow dry.
I bathed my cat two days ago; about three hours later it started vomiting yellow, sticky fluid, then had diarrhea, then vomited white transparent foam twice. It is anorexic. Today it vomited white foam again, then yellow with black hair. Still won’t eat. The cat had all three vaccine shots and energy is okay, plays with the teaser.
Two days of vomiting suggests acute gastroenteritis, blockage, or hairballs. Stop feeding during severe vomiting; energy is OK so infection is unlikely, but see a vet soon to avoid worsening.
What Happens If a Cat Is Bathed Too Often?
Over-bathing strips natural oils, damaging the skin barrier and causing itch, dryness, dandruff, redness and hair loss, even skin disease. Frequent baths also stress cats, causing withdrawal or depression. Bathe every 3-6 months.
Why Does the Cat Hate Baths?
Cats dislike water by nature; bad memories like wrong temperature or rough scrubbing scare them, and some dislike the after-smell. Bathe patiently and correctly.
My cat slept the whole time after a bath and won’t respond when called; is this normal?
Sleeping through after a bath is not quite normal—likely mild stress. Let it rest and watch its spirit/appetite when awake. If normal, fine; if poor, see a vet. Immunity drops after baths, so keep it warm and comfort it.
I found this cat and had it bathed at a pet shop; the owner said it’s a golden tiger cat but it doesn’t look like one to me — what cat is it?
The photo shows a Chinese Li Hua (tabby) cat, not a golden tiger. Golden tigers are golden/orange with black tiger stripes and round flat faces. This one just has unusual markings.
