Dont soak, spray
Freude
I usually use a misting spray bottle to comb out the fur with my wet hands. An open tub of water with a running tap will scare a cat off, better to introduce the process gradually and in steps. Place the cat in an open sink with the drain open. Place the faucet to the the side and turn it to warm, wet the cat gradually cupping water from the hand to the cat until wet enough to use a PET FRIENDLY soap or flea soap. AVOIDE THE HEAD, start with trhe back, chest and rump. Wash and massage, make the cat feel it's a petting session. Rinsing may have to be a little more aggressive to get the soap out of the coat, the cat may get sick other wise. Dry with a fluffy towel, combing out, and finish off with a portion of catnip, to give the cat the impression everything ended on a positive note.
