Can i wash my 2 month old kitten? He is really dirty and he stepped in his poop. I'm afraid because i've never washed my cats. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 2 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You are fine bathing Franky! I would use a safe non irritating shampoo like dawn or a baby shampoo. He is a young kitten so bathing him shouldn't be as scary as it would for an adult cat. He will likely just be scared and try to climb out of the tub or climb you. Consider clipping his toe nails before the bath! Good luck!
