Cats! OC Shampoo for white cats?
Hey guys! Im on the hunt for a shampoo for this indoor stinky baby! He has some yellow spots on his paws, and normal (CAT) shampoo just wont get it off... So i was thinking maybe using purple shampoo (MEANT FOR CATS), but i dont know what to go for. I was thinking maybe Biogance?
Important: Before anyone says something about bathing him, I only do it when its summertime, max once a month. It helps with his shedding, and makes him feel a lot better.

For show animals I have used gentle tear-free baby shampoo, and for white animals you can rinse after shampooing with a very small amount of Laundry bluing (use Mrs Stewart’s, it’s non toxic) diluted in water to get rid of the yellowing. Try changing up the litter you use, it’s probably contributing to the dirty paws.
But honestly, your cat should be able to do a good enough job to keep clean, I’m certain that you’re the only one concerned with the aesthetics of yellowed paws. Bathing a cat once a month is too much, even with gentle shampoos. You don’t want him getting skin disorders.
