WooHoo! I think I've unlocked the mystery as to how to get Boomer to take a bath without ripping me to shreds! It all started with a walk through the aisles at the grocery store. I passed by the baby things and stared longingly at each little miniature spoon and such, until I came to the baby food. I remembered someone mentioning giving their kitty a little bit of baby food as a snack... (yes, thoughts of PT even invade my imaginary baby shopping :roll eyes: )So I picked up a jar of beef and a jar of chicken. Upon arriving at my home I was so excited about the baby food that I immediately opened both jars and dipped a finger into each to offer to my sweet spoiled little guy. He loved it, even going so far as to attempt to gnaw on my finger (ouch). Then my eyes strayed to the rest of my discarded groceries and I remembered that I had also bought him a new bottle of shampoo! I was giddy with glee about my cleverness!! So I grabbed the chicken jar and set it on the floor while I set out towels and began to fill the tub. Boomer loved it and I had to take it away a few tiems because he was trying to eat the glass So anyway, it worked! I bathed Boomer with one hand and held out a finger full of baby food at all times with the other. It worked wonders, it wasn't until I stopped feeding him baby food so that I could dry him off that he seemed to realize he was wet I'm so happy that it worked! He seems to have figured out that I tricked him though, and currently wants NOTHING to do with what's left of the baby food, but I'm sure he'll come around once he's done licking himself dry
