My little monster <3 is almost a year old, and smells a little catty on areas he can't groom himself well, like between his shoulders.
Rather than buying yet another *thing* (As a minimalist and a newlywed, the amt of *stuff* that you suddenly need when you transition from a student to a wife is mind-boggling to me), I was wondering if one of the gentler shampoos that I already have is cat-safe.
And rather than spending an hour educating myself about the ingredients to see if any are toxic to cats or just badly suited for their coats, I was thinking that many people on this forum would be able to tell me at a glance, and probably know a lot more than I could learn in an hour or two. It doesn't have to be an expert opinion, and if you're wrong I'm not going to sue you or something.
So if someone is bored at work or whatnot, would they be so kind as to tell me if either of these things are ok to use (infrequently) as cat shampoo?
