Get your cat used to bathing from an early age. This will make the process more enjoyable for you and him. If he hasn't been used to it from an early age, your cat's (and yours) stress level can be extremely high, and your cat may cry, scream, and scratch to get out of the tub. For this reason, wear a long-sleeved shirt to prevent scratching.
Before washing your cat, let the shampoo, brushes and towels at your fingertips. Always use a drain so as not to clog your house's pipes with hair. It is very important that you ___________ your pet better, that you understand feline behavior.
