YLONG Cat Bathing/Grooming Bag Anti-Bite and Anti-Scratch for Bathing, Nail Trimming, Medicine Taking,Injection,Adjustable Multifunctional Breathable Restraint Shower Bag(Green)

Some people say you’re not supposed to bathe your cat because it strips their natural oils, causes unnecessary stress, and just isn’t needed. But I think they fail to realize that some cats do need it—whether it’s because they get messy from wet food, have bathroom accidents, or, in my case, a flea infestation. The flea medicine alone wasn’t cutting it, so I decided to give her a flea bath along with her regular topical treatment. She’s usually pretty easy to handle, but when it comes to baths, she doesn’t hurt me—she mostly ends up hurting herself since she’s slightly disabled. I wanted a way to keep her safe and steady during the bath without risking injury, while still being able to properly apply the flea treatment and get her clean. Using the bathing sack made it super easy. You just scoop their body and head into it, tighten it up quickly, and since they’re swaddled, you don’t have to worry about them climbing out or hurting themselves by jumping around. I was able to scrub her down with soap, and the mesh material made it easy to get deep into her fur and rinse thoroughly. She’s fairly small, so lifting her in the sack was like carrying a purse—it made it easier to dry her off, too. I think it’s pretty durable. My cat’s not very aggressive, so I’m not sure how it would hold up with a cat that scratches or bites a lot, but for my mostly chill cat, it worked great.

This has worked great! I have a rescue cat. He is estimated to be an 8 year old former street cat so when I brought him home and gave him his first bath (he was very dirty and had strong urine smell), he completely flipped out and it was a horrific experience for both of us. Pretty sure it was he first ever bath. He also has skin issues that require occasional medicated shampoo baths. Wasn't sure how we were going to get though it until I found this bath bag. Disclaimer, I also give him Gabapentin 2 hours before bath time which does probably help. This bag has been used twice so far. The shampoo lathers well over/under the bag. He does try to shimmy his front feet through the neck hole but I think that's because I'm afraid to cinch it too tight around his neck. Both times I've thrown the bag in the washer afterwards and hung dry. No rips or tears noted. Great product!

Allow me to regale you with the epic tale of Rick, the stinky black cat, and Gus, the paranoid schizophrenic orange tabby, as they embark on a tumultuous journey with the infamous YLONG Cat Bathing Bag. This seemingly innocuous contraption promised to revolutionize the dreaded task of bathing cats but instead led to a comedy of errors that would rival even the most chaotic sitcom. Picture Rick, with a scent that could peel paint off the walls, and Gus, who sees conspiracies in every shadow - a duo whose disdain for water rivals that of a cat stranded in the Sahara. The mere mention of bath time sent them into a frenzy of fur and claws, as if the very idea of cleanliness was an affront to their feline dignity. Enter the YLONG Cat Bathing Bag, a nylon prison that promised to make cat bathing a breeze. However, as Rick and Gus were unceremoniously shoved into this feline straightjacket, it quickly became apparent that this was less of a spa experience and more of a wrestling match with two tiny, furry combatants. Rick's eyes narrowed in suspicion, Gus's tail fluffed up like a dandelion in a windstorm, and chaos reigned supreme. The scene unfolded like a slapstick comedy - water splashing, claws flying, and yowls of protest that could wake the dead. Rick glared at you with an intensity that could melt steel, while Gus's eyes darted around in a manic frenzy, searching for escape routes that existed only in his paranoid mind. The sheer absurdity of the situation was both hilarious and heartwarming, a testament to the unyielding spirit of our feline friends in the face of bath time tyranny. As you dried off two soggy, disgruntled cats and surveyed the aftermath of the cat bath escapade, a sense of camaraderie washed over you. Despite the chaos, the scratches, and the soggy fur, there was a bond forged in the fires of the YLONG Cat Bathing Bag debacle - a shared experience that would be retold with laughter for years to come. In conclusion, if you're looking for a good laugh, a lesson in humility, and a bonding experience with your furry companions, look no further than the YLONG Cat Bathing Bag. Just be prepared for the hilarity, the chaos, and the unforgettable memories that come with attempting to bathe cats who would rather be anywhere else but in a bath.

I received my cat bathing bag at 1:00pm, by 1:45 I was in the urgent care to get antibiotics for my new cat bite. This is the story: my very overweight cat (Fat Baby) is having some personal grooming limitations. He did not tolerate warm wet cloths on his backside, and after much desperation, I went in search for a bathing contraption. To my delight, this product was found. I thought my prayers had been answered and I could finally get my cat’s butt squeaky clean. I got him collected in his bag, and carried him to the tub. The strap broke while carrying him. This should have been my warning that things were not going to go well, but I persisted. The water was set to the right temp before I bagged him up, so I plopped him in. This is where things went very badly. I wasn’t able to get the head covering on him, and he was so very angry about the water. He began to squirm, and choke himself. He reached one arm through the neck hole, and in the process saw an opportunity to take a bite of my left hand while my right hand tried to squirt the water. We locked eyes for a moment. He had every right to bite me (it’s probably that diet food I tried to feed him a while back). As we peered into each other’s eyes, and his teeth pierced my flesh, I saw one of his 9 lives flutter away. After he released his fangs, and lied writhing in the tub, I was able to get a couple more squirts of water on him. While I watched my blood swirl in the bath water, I noticed he was panting. Realizing he was most likely on his way to lose his remaining 8 lives in one quick swoop, I raced for the nearest scissors I could find. Just on the bathroom counter were trauma shears. Perfect tool for the job. Thankfully, I’m a nursing student, and completely irresponsible, which led to their availability and also lucky misplacement in the bathroom. I freed my furry, still stinky, feline from the bag that bound him. He retreated to the confines beneath my bed, only short one life, and still unable to clean his dingleberries. In all, I wouldn’t fully recommend this bag. But it’s a great idea…. In theory.

If you read some of the positive reviews on this, you’ll find negative comments within a lot of them. I’m not sure why some of the people who weren’t impressed with this product gave it such positive reviews. Unless you want to make your cat feel like they were chained & thrown in the river to drown, don’t buy this. Ever. I purchased this with the hope it would prevent my cat from scratching & biting me during his 2nd ever bath in the 6 months I’ve had him, & it did, but I wouldn’t call it a thorough cleaning, & it wasn’t without a fight. The only reason I wasn’t scratched & bitten through the mesh was because I had to hold him by the scruff of his neck. The adjusters don’t always hold, so first my cat escaped & leaped, soaking wet, across the bathroom. He was covered in soap, so I knew I had to put him back in order to rinse him off. This time, the adjusters held somewhat, but it started to strangle him. I loosened it, but as my cat flailed his legs & entire body, he ended up getting his head caught inside the bag. I had to delicately try to pull his head back through without getting clawed or bitten. It also didn’t make cleaning any easier, as the cat curls up inside it, & you can’t get to their whole body through the mesh. I couldn’t tell if all the soap was gone, & I know his underside didn’t get washed. My cat was so terrified, he was screaming, crying, foaming at the mouth, & absolutely terrified. He is fine now after spending the rest of the day hiding inside my box spring, & surprisingly, doesn’t hate me, but I worry this experience may have traumatized him on baths for life. I feel horribly guilty & wish I’d never bought it.

Perfect for my two kittens, except the string can come out easily and it takes time to get back in.

People have mixed reviews on this and I'm so glad to share! I have 8 cats mostly rescues from outside. MAKE SURE YOU TIE THEM DOWN!!! That's what the ties are for! Make sure they are IN IT BEFORE YOU SHRINK THE STRING TO FIT THEIR BODY!! No, they will not like it, THEY ARE CATS THEY DO NOT LIKE WATER! That's the whole point of this contraption!!! Duh!!! I've tried to give most of these 8 a bath without this thing and...yea not a good sight, scratches and half soapy cats doesn't work. But this thing!!! This is amazing!!! Take 2 minutes of your time to make sure they are in it properly! It's with every penny! I have bathed my most aggressive (to water) cat I have and he just laid there he had no choice! He LOVED me after he was clean and dry, let me tell ya. They are cats they don't understand you are just trying to help until the "damage" is done. I promise just tie the strings down make sure they are in it good and rinse well because the bag itself hold soap also!! And I PROMISE you will have absolutely clean cat!!!!

Only holds small cats and even they get out of the bag

Great idea and if you have a normal cat or even a mildly cranky one. I can see it being very successful. However if you have a hand reared, feral who is old and beyond cranky then best not try. That's all I need to say. Not at all the products fault.
