Bath day for a cat is a contact sport. Three products, three different answers to a cat with sensitive skin: skip the water, wash with a gentle shampoo, or brush.
Quick answer: no tub and no rinse, Mighty Meow Waterless Foam. A real bath for dry, itchy skin, earthbath Hypo-Allergenic Shampoo. A daily brush on a medium or long coat, the Depets Self-Cleaning Slicker. The one rule: an itch that keeps coming back is a vet visit.
