Smelly Cat

[catnapper]

AWWWWW Baby had his first bath!

I went out this afternoon and came home to a Pouncer that smelled like the litter box. stiiiiiinky!!!

So I gave him his first bath... much to his displeasure! I gave Allen a butt bath last week, and now my poor little guy got a full dip! Good thing I trimmed his nails really good yesterday or I'd be a bleeding mess.

Here he is being towel dried

Sorry for the blurry head... he was lick-lick-licking.

Here is is in the hallway after he escaped the towel - very upset, but still licking.

Horribly bad from Pouncer's point of view, but quite wonderful from ours for taking pics! :D

And I'm sure you know this from Allen, but don't worry, he'll lick himself dry and by that time he'll be over it and come looking for snuggles - he won't hold it against you. :D

Ahhh, poor poor Pouncer!!!

Lily completely sympathizes with him! Had to do the same with her when I found her playing in the toilet bowl (meowmie had forgotten to close the lid :o).

He's currently sitting on the shelf ontop of the radiator licking non-stop... he's almost there. At least he's in the warmest spot available (I had to move some stuff to make room for him. If I didn't I would have broken trinkets everywhere ebcause he was DETERMINED to sit up there!)

Poor Pouncer.

I am sure that T&P is correct and he will have forgiven you by the time that he is dry.:)

Thanks for the pictures.

No you are not a bad mommy. I bath these guys all the time and the hardest one is the smaller ones because they are not use to a bath and are harder to hold. The big guys Mason at 24#s and Chinno at 19 #'s are very easy justs take a long time to dry. Jaxon's last bath was with a groomer because he was going to be shown. That is more than just one or two shampooings. Did he look wonderful. I did the girls who are 9 and 8 months old. We did great at the show. I ususally bath these guys 2 xs a year. So if anyone is a bad mommie it is me because my guys get blown dry after many shampooings and a vinager rinse. Butt washings are when needed.

Awwww Pouncer, just think how gorgeous you're going to look after you are all dry. You're so cute as a button.
When I use to have to bath Katie, I had to make sure all the windows were closed in the house cause with the noise that came out of her:eek:, you'd think I was trying to kill her.

Were you like that Pouncer or were you a good kitty?

Actually he was completely quiet - not one peep out of him. But he was everywhere at once! I couldn't catch him to hold him! I don't know who was more soaked... Pouncer or me.

But he's now completely dry and super soft & fluffy!

I know that after Boomer is finished licking himself dry he gets into a really snuggly mood:) It's something that I canalways count on. It's like he's looking for confirmation that I still love him:)

See Pouncer there are some advantages to a few minutes of suffering!!http://petoftheday.com/talk/images/our_smilies/wink.gif

Pouncer will appreciate being clean , and it was so great that you didnt get scratched up. as most Cats do like getting wet , of course.

Juni and Pichu need a bath too :) With Juni it's easy - she even enjoys it sometimes (depends on the mood), but Pichu - last time it was my syster who gave him a bath and she promised she won't do that again :D
