Homemade Cat Shampoo

Making a homemade shampoo for your cat will ensure there aren't any unsafe products for your cat or the environment, in the shampoo. If your cat has long hair or gets into something stinky, you can assist it in the grooming process. Most cats will groom themselves but occasionally you may need to use a shampoo to get rid of a smell or a mess in its fur. You can make the shampoo by using a few household products.
