I guess this is a situation in which the cat needs a bath? Because normally, cats take care of their own hygiene and do not need human intervention.
Ask yourself about how to bathe a cat in general, or how to bathe a cat that is particularly opposed to water? I will suppose the last one.
The goal is to make bathing as stress-free as possible. If she hates water, she will hate the bath, there is no way around the problem. But you can make the experience less terrible for her.
Before bathing, play with the cat. This way, the cat will be relaxed and a little tired, and therefore easier to handle.
Get plenty of towels ready to absorb the inevitable splashes. (Your cat will splash a lot.)
Use hot water. (Not cold, not hot.)
Get a deep basin - deeper than the size of your cat, if possible. (This will help keep the water splashed, which will also help you control your cat.)
Fill the pelvis so that the cat will stand at about half its height in the water. That is to say. legs and part of the torso are submerged. The head should certainly not be submerged at all. If the cat feels he can stand on firm ground, he will be less terrified than if he feels an abyss of bottomless water under his feet.
- If you have a small non-slip rubber mat, place it at the bottom of the pool. Standing on a non-slippery surface can reduce the cat's panic.
-Hire an assistant, if you can. One is holding the cat, the other is washing it.
-If your cat has a necklace, you may want to hold the necklace with one hand, the rest of the cat with the other.
-When shampooing, be careful not to put shampoo in the eyes, ears, nose or mouth of the cat.
Talk to the cat in soothing and soothing tones.
Keep the short swim test.
After bathing, wipe your cat and reward him with something nice, eg. favorite food or treats for cats. (But be ready for the cat to escape immediately after bathing, the moment your grip on it relaxes, without even waiting for treats.)
I hope it helps.
