the cat didn't like to bath, if you do that, it will be evil to you....Show more

How old is your son?

If he is younger, you can ask him why he thinks the cat needs a bath with bubble bath and pine sol, then carefully explain to him that those are dangerous to the cat. If he continues to want to bathe the cat, get him a cat shampoo and oversee the process. Most cats hate getting bathed, but if he learns the proper way to bathe a cat and what should be used, it is better than your current situation.

You could also try finding a toy (not a stuffed animal, but something that would be appropriate for this situation) that is shaped like a cat and allowing him to bathe it instead, performing it properly so that he learns what is ok and what is not.

I would also suggest putting the bubble bath and pine sol in a place where he can not get to it until he learns better.

And if your son is a preteen/teenager, ground him or disipline him in a proper manner. You could also make him volunteer at an animal shelter/animal control in order to gain respect for animals rather than seeking to harm the animals.

Pine sol is very harsh on the skin and if ingested can cause ulcerations in the mouth, tongue, esophagous, and stomach (and continue down the digestive tract until semi-neutralized). It deends on the bubble bath, but at least it will cause some drying of the skin and fur.

First of all, keep the Pine Sol locked in the cabinet where it is out of reach (Pine Sol is very harmful to skin) and watch UR cat all the time make sure hes not in trouble Or tell Ur son if he keeps bathing the cat in bubble bath you'll not let him watch T. V. for a week or something, and you can pretend UR going out, and then sneak behind UR son 2 see if he's doing it again OR YOU can also buy UR SON a toy so he'll get distracted and forget about bathing the cat....Show more

You don't say how old your son is, but if he's a toddler, the Pine Sol should already be put up OUT of his REACH. Any other liquid soap, cleaner, insecticide, etc!!

Make one of your "overhead" cabinets, a place for "poisonous products". First thing you know, he'll be putting it in the cat's mouth...or his own!

If he's NOT a toddler..........he should already have been taught that some things are not to play with! My 3 yr old great-granddaughter already knows better than to do something like that!

Hopefully, you don't end up with a dead cat......poison, drowned, while being "bathed"!!

You really need to WORK on THIS......for everyone's sake! Good luck.............Show more

This isn't a pet question but the thing you need to do is lock the cabinets so he can't get to pine sol. When ingested, it's terribly ... sorta kinda painful and disgusting. (I swallowed some when I was young, it wasn't a fun experience.)

Keep the cat away from him until he grows up a little bit....Show more
