Things You'll Need
- Leash or sink
- Soft towel
- Makeup wedge sponge
- Cotton swab
Instructions
Restrain your cat. Use a leash and sit on the floor. You may also put your cat in a sink, which will give you easy access to water and allow you to restrain the cat at the same time. If needed, ask a friend to help you.
Dampen a soft towel with warm water. Rub the towel over the cat's nose with light pressure, dislodging any surface dirt. Be careful not to rub too hard and cause distress to your cat.
Wet a makeup wedge sponge with warm water and gently rub your cat's nose with it. This will painlessly remove additional dirt. Use the angled end of the sponge to get dirt out of your cat's nostrils.
Wet a cotton swab with warm water. Gently swab the inside of your cat's nostrils if there is dirt lodged in them.
