My cat pooped from vet stress. Can I safely bathe him tomorrow?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 1 year and 2 months old

Hello, my cat Felix got vaccinated and dewormed today, but was nervous on the way back -as he usually does and pooped himself. I tried washing his legs but there's still a smell. Is it okay if I wash hum tomorrow with his shampoo? Thank you very much!

So sorry Felix is having this issue. The answer is "of course!" You can wash him anytime with his shampoo. There should be no problem with washing in relation to him having had the vaccines and deworming today. As a side note, if you can get Feliway in Saudi Arabia, you may want to try using that the next time Felix has to travel. https://www.ubuy.com.sa/en/catalog/product/view/id/33321/s/comfort-zone-with-feliway-for-cats-spray-75-milliliters?sku=B003E71E24&store=US&p-key=2112 Hope this helps. Best wishes!
