>>1533199B. Bathing
-------------------------------------
As has been mentioned previously, your cat-girl is a remarkably neat and clean creature, but, even that being the case, she will require regular bathing. If she is a sedentary breed she may only require a weekly bath. More active breeds that energetically play and sweat may require almost daily bathing.
***Again we cannot stress strongly enough that you use SPGGA approved bathing products. Cat-girls have no real body hair except for the head/ears and tail. Thus their skin is vulnerable to strong soaps and itchy and painful irritation will result.***
A cat girl from a breeder is used to bathing. She generally will have been bathed with her siblings and Mere. It is highly likely she will look forward to bathing. Indeed many cat girls will investigate the tub while YOU are bathing. It may be difficult to dissuade her from joining you!
Again Ferals and Strays may present their own challenges. Coaxing a stray/feral into the water is usually traumatizing, for the owner and cat-girl!
Again, behavior shaping often works best. Your cat girl will begin to display signs of disgust *hissing at her reflection in the mirror and demonstrating agitation with grooming herself if she begins to feel unclean and dirty. However, if an actual tub of water is too frightening to her and you attempt to force bathe her, she may become further distressed about her appearance and depressed by disobeying you. Remember a bath is a new and possibly frightening situation!
