The short answer is no, you should not bathe your Siamese cat or any feline friend with a people shampoo or a body wash intended for people. Human shampoos and washes are designed to exfoliate the skin, remove dirt and oils, and even leave a lasting fragrance on the body. These are not recommended for cats. A Siamese cat needs the oils to stay in her coat in skin in order to protect against parasites, bacteria, and to keep skin healthy and supple. Using a people product would strip her fur and skin of these vital oils. Shampoos and soaps with scents can also cause skin irritation in cats not to mention the smell may cause your cat to become ill. In a pinch you may be able to use a baby shampoo, but it’s best to avoid all people products. Consult with your veterinary clinic Newmarket, ON to find the right shampoo for your cat.
