I have survived bathing all four of the cats. I bathed Hemlock and Silas to the soundtrack of TTT. Which, I don't think was the best choice of soothing music. Thre were times I am sure that it only inspired the 'I'm going to die' feelings in my poor cats. I put Enigma in for Scruffy, who invented new words with his different ways to pronunciate 'meow'. reeeeeowwrreerhhhhhhhhhhhowwwuhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrr
but Manna always takes it worst. I have debated taping her paws as she always seems to sink her claws in me. There's absolutely no grace to bathing Manna. I hate to do it because of how she reacts, but it has to be done. So, in the water.... rreoowww... avoid claws, don't care if you get wet, just avoid those two weapons.... put her up on counter to soap her up... she starts looking at me and I suddenly get a telepathic image from her wee nogin to mine, 'Roy and Tiger'.....Then it's squeeze ass load of special kitty shampoo on counter, and roll her in it. Just kidding. It's squeeze assload of shampoo on kitty, but partly miss kitty, so counter gets it....soapy soapy... fling water (stay away from claws) to help with the suds.... soapy soapy..... then the inevitable rinse..... then the cuddle with the, 'im disgruntled, don't think i'm going to forget this, bitch' and me feeling badly, and nursing about three different places she still managed to get me.
Now to clean up the mess. The ferret is much more cooperative.
