How old has kittens have to be for you can wash and clean it?

Iwanted to know how old can the kittens have to be for you can wash and clean the kittens?How old has kittens have to be for you can wash and clean it?
All cats do groom themselves. If you can train a kitten at the right age which is about six to eight weeks then you might get lucky. Other wise you might get all scratched up. Cats hate water. Then again some cats are strange and love it.How old has kittens have to be for you can wash and clean it?
most bottles say do not use this on kittens under 8 weeks of age but if it has flea stuff in it then do not use it on kittens under 16 weeks of age.read the bottle.
I took in two orphaned kittens. So therefore to all the people above who said you cant wash them and that the mom cat is needed to wash them, well, there isn't one so, I have to do it myself. I use a damp, warm washcloth. Make sure you dry the kittens. They cannot be left cold and wet. My kittens are 10 days old today.
You don't wash the kittens yourself. The mother will clean them.

Do not wash the kittens! The mother cat will wash them and take care of them.





Even adult cats rarely need to be bathed. They take care of their own fur very nicely. They do appreciate being brushed, especially if they have long fur, but otherwise they don't need baths like dogs do.
PEOPLE THEY GROOM THEMSELVES DON'T BLAME ME IF YOU GET ALL SCRATCHED UP IT'S PART OF NATURE
Cleaning a cat is never a good idea. They usually clean themselves, or other cats (their mothers) clean them. Can you give us more info on why you want to clean the cat?





Good luck! :)
You should see on the product bottle of shampoo, they'll have a notice about what minimu age it needs to be before you can do that.
their mum does it! if they are away from mum...well at least over 10 weeks, then a warm cloth with a baby soap only a little..would be plenty. cats groom very well, and are usually fastidious by themselves. No flea products till over 8 weeks old!
Why do you need to wash them?





You can get a washcloth and dampen it with warm water and wash the kitties like that -- make sure you dry them carefully (with a towel only!) after that. make it fun for them -- sweet talk em while you do that.





I would Think that you can do that when they are about 4 weeks old-- just make sure they don;t get too wet so they don;t catch a cold.
I would wait until they could function on their own such as eating, seeing, walking straight. So i would wait until they were a couple months old because there mom should do all of that stuff for them while they are little...if there is no mom for the kittens you could probably wipe them off with a warm washcloth just don't put any soap on it and after wards make sure they are wrapped up or dry before you let them go off on their own, they could get sick.
If you really feel like you have to wash a kitten look at the cat shampoo bottle.





(you shouldn't, they're supposed to wash themselves, or their mother when they're younger)
