What can I wash my cat with?

Can I wash my cat with just water?

Only use a few inches of water, and keep the temperature very mild. Fill the tub and some extra buckets of water before bringing your cat into the bathroom so the running water won't frighten them. Use a shampoo that is made specifically for bathing cats. Anything else could be harmful or even toxic to your cat.
