Kitty torture pics... ;-)

[Shelteez2]

I was bored on Sunday so I decided to kill some time by bathing the cats. I had Cam take pics of the torture sessions...

I started with Beatle. (Please excuse my messy apearance.)



As you can see I had a supervisor.



First things first... always cut the nails before the cat goes in the tub.







Next comes the tub. First pour on the soap.



Then scrub scrub scrub.

[Shelteez2]

It is important to keep one hand on the cat at all times to prevent escapes.



Beat yowls in protest.





Once the cat is thoroughly scrubbed it's time to rinse.

[Shelteez2]

That of course is followed by a good towel dry.





So full of hate.



Then I put Beatle in the kennel with a dryer on while I moved on to Flea.



Flea is a lot better than Beatle for his nails.

[Catty1]

ROLF! That is one PO'd FACE!!!!

[Shelteez2]

And now his turn to get sudsed up.







And now for the rinse...









And finally towelling off...

[Shelteez2]

He got to go in the crate with Beatle and they both just dryed off for awhile. Then I got Beatle out to finish drying her.







When she was dry she got a thorough brushing and was released to go plot her revenge.
Then it was Flea's turn.









After he got his brushing he went to join Beatle to see what she had thought of for revenge. I think I will be sleeping with one eye open for the next little while...

WOW, your cats are easy going!! You say "hold them with 1 hand"?? Oh my, I have to use both and ask someone else to risk his life by getting the cat washed

[smokey the elder]

I see some serious airplane ears! I'd hide the shoes for awhile!

[Laura's Babies]

I was also going to comment on those airpalne ears but smokey the elder beat me to it.

You are one BRAVE Lady! I have never and will never attempt to bathe mine! I would not have any arms left when I got done with the first one. Beatle looks like he is a hudge cat and could have tore you up.. You are BRAVE!!!

It looks like you have done that before and have a great set up for those times so my guess is you have a lot of experience and have done this before, but it is clear to see, they were not happy and I would be scared of the revenge part... I had one that when I treated her for fleas, and turned her loose, she would run streight to my daughters bed and pee all over it..

[Taz_Zoee]

Flea looks like he tolerated it a lot more than Beatle did.
I've bathed Taz once or twice in his 13 years and that was only because we had a flea infestation in the house. That's not something I'd decide to do on a boring weekend.

Well, it was nice to see your kitties anyway. Even if you were "torturing" them.

[Freedom]

Oh goodness! Sincere thanks to Cam for snapping such terrific photos!

Prior to getting the dogs,I used to bathe my cats every other month. I have seen each and every one of those expressions on Beat's face! Oh yes, that does bring it all back to me.

I only used the tub a few times, too hard on my knees and back (I think you are younger than me!) I use the kitchen sink, it has the sprayer as well.

Flea does appear to be much more tolerant, glad you have different temperaments to cope with! Thanks for a wonderful photo thread.
