Hi! It sounds like she gets stressed during bath time and that’s why that is happening. Cats don’t need to be bathed more that 1-2 times/year usually. They should be able to clean themselves. I’d recommend only bathing her if absolutely needed and letting her groom herself. Thanks for using Pet Coach!
