A 6 week old kitten...?

I have a six week old kitten, when should
I bathe it, what should I use and how should I do it.
Answers:
Cats don't really require bathing, that is something that their mommy usually does for them. When they're old enough, they do it themselves.
If, for some reason, the kitten gets dirty enough to warrant a bath, then do a good wipe-down with a washcloth and a mild pet shampoo (look at your pet store and read the label for age limitations that may apply).
you dont need to bathe it. its a cat they do that all on their own. even as kittens. bathing a kitten could scare it. i know my little cousin kept getting my kitten wet when she was about 6 weeks old and now she's even more afraid of water than any other cat i've had. so dont worry about it, it'll take care of itself
we never bathed our kitten...cats hate water, and they clean themselves ne ways...
most cats are always clean and if not get clean in the rain
u really don't need to bathe a cat. they pretty much do that themselves. if u notice it getting really dirty.. ask that same question to the vet. good luck! xoxo
dawn the dish soap would be the best thing for the kitten. The shampoos that humans use are worse for it. The dawn also helps kill fleas too, but it won't kill the eggs under the skin so I would recommend advantage, which is a flea preventative-it's safe to use on a kitten of that age. And you can bathe your new kitty at any time. but no more than like a once a month. Good luck!
