    No, I don't normally bathe my cats. I have had to give a butt bath or two when one of my cats got poo stuck in their fluffy bottoms. This has happened to Ziggy, Alani, & Blaze. I tell them to sit up high when they poo like their big brother Sky does. He knows how to do it without soiling himself.

    I haven't bathed a cat since I had Kit Kat. She was a fatty and couldn't clean her bum.

    Hope I never have to bathe any of my 3. Buddy would probably tolerate it. Tinky not so much. Mama...No way!

    As others have stated, I haven't/don't bathe my kitties unless there is a reason to do so -- fleas, lack of self-grooming, got into something... etc. I cherish my arms and hands

    Pouncer gets a special medical bath on his boy bits -- but not a big dunk in water. He lays on the bed as I clean him. I used to bathe Allen in the shower fairly frequently because he was too fat to clean himself properly. All the others do a great job cleaning themselves.

    Sherpa has a serious hariball issue, and he absolutely will NOT take Petromalt, so I do bathe him. It is actually easier to bathe him than to give him petromalt, the silly boy. Similarly, Sherpa is VERY good for blood draws and nail trims, but I cannot get a spot-on flea medication onto him. He freaks out and has bitten me quite badly over the issue.
