Give the bath somewhere like a bathroom where you can close the door to keep the cat confined. Put just enough lukewarm water in the tub to cover their paws. Use a large plastic cup to scoop water and poor on them. Hold the kitten by the "scruff" of the neck but don't pinch and/or lift the cat by the scruff. Just hold firm enough to keep them from bolting out. Wet kitties down thoroughly but do not pour water on head/face area. Use a shampoo made for kittens and avoid the head area. Don't use too much shampoo-hard to rinse out. You can wipe their heads down with a wet washcloth later. Some cats freak when the faucet is turned on, so you may want to have a pitcher of clean warm water nearby but rinse slowly-don't dump! Rub kitties dry gently with a large towel. Give lots of treats, cuddles and playtimes after. Oh, and if your cats are like mine, you may also want to have EMS standing by just in case. ;-) ;-)
