If you have an outgoing cat who seems to take most things in stride then you can certainly try it. With their barbed tongues they are usually quite capable of keeping their own coats clean without any help from humans thank you very much. Wet wipes are the safest and easiest way to achieve this.
Your cat uses saliva to neutralize scents and remove oils. Many average cat owners feel their cats dont need to be bathed but a couple times a year or ever unless something happens to warrant it. It can mess with their skin and fur. Put your cat into the container with the clean water rinse him well and again squeeze away as much water as possible with your hands.
