There's no need is there? I just popped into my Aunt's house to see her new kitten...it's 9 weeks old now and so gorgeous. She said "Oh you're just in time to see me bathe it!"
I said "Why are you bathing it? It's too small and there's no need..." and she said "Oh it's been scratching so I think it's got fleas."
I then gave it a good inspection and said "no...it hasn't got any fleas and if it did then the thing to do is visit the Vet and ask the receptionist for some flea treatment for kittens..."
She was going to shampoo it with Johnson's Baby Bath!
I persueded her not to and told her that no matter what "cat bathing tutorials" she's seen on Youtube...it's not the go....you don't wash them at all unless they've fallen in something smelly or dangerous....AIBU? I hope she wasn't waiting till I left to do it!

To think that you don't bathe a kitten?
