Cleaning a cat

Question
I know cats don't like water but I've tried using the wipes. She hates the wipes also. How can I get her clean if she hates water and wipes? Do u have any tricks I can use?

Answer
You should not have to clean cats. Their tongue does the cleaning. Often wipes have chemicals that cats do not like and that could even be toxic to them.

The way to get a cat clean is to keep her healthy.

Feed a fresh food diet with raw or slightly cooked meat, no vaccines (except legally required Rabies), work with an integrative veterinarian, use no chemical flea or tick treatments and she will never need a bath!

never feed a cat dry food.
