As long as you don't get the water in the cat's face and mouth, especially around their eyes and ears, you can bleach them. Make absolutely sure that the bleach is rinsed or shampooed off later. Otherwise it's like wearing paint thinner in your hair

You are an idiot? Put bleach in their water? As in drink it? If so you will have a dead cat on your hands and if you just mean to wash him/her with it then I have no clue. Bye!

you all are dumb asses would you all drink bleach or even put it on your skin? then dont do it to your cat. Take your cheep asses to the vet and buy front line topical gel or adams flea spray to get rid of the paricite problem. You and your feline will be happy.

I don't know where you heard that, but you will poison your cat to death if you put any amount of bleach in the water. Second of all, you should never never never put bleach on their body. Take your cat to the Vet. Get some proper flea medication, or give your cat up for adoption, because it doesn't should like you should really even own a cat.

You are an idoit. I'll tell you what.. why don't you drink a glass of bleach and then rub some all over yourself.. wait an hour, if your not dead or in the hospital, or your skin is not peeling off, than I'd say its safe to give it to your cat.

Putting bleach in your cat's water and letting the cat drink it would poison the cat. A better solution would be to treat your house and yard for fleas and have you cat washed in a "flea dip" at the vet's office. You should also have your cat on a internal or topical flea killing prescription from your vet. So the answer is no, DO NOT PUT BLEACH IN YOUR CAT'S WATER. Good Luck

Just bathe the cat in homemade orange oilby boiling 1lb of orange peel in a quart of water. Spray the cooled down liquid over the cat and massage, rinse and bathe the cat in baby shampoo. While wet brush hair with flea comb to take any extras out. Rinse again, dry then kiss your cat after that huge ordeal.

My cat loves to lick the bleach off of the floor after i mop. He gets down on the floor and rolls around on it. He acts like it's a type of cat nip. As for the bleach in the water it is vinegar not bleach. I don't remember how much.
