Ananda, you're so sweet! I'm glad you feel comfortable with your owner now, after living on the streets. You're such a sweet kitty.

To Ananda's owner: I know you mean well with washing Ananda with soap and water weekly, but you're not supposed to wash a cat at all! Cats clean themselves and do a marvelous job! Soap is not good for cats, the cat will loose its cat-scent (it needs scent for other cats) and soap also dries out a cat's fur. Only wash a cat when it is really really dirty, like very muddy or has oily substance on its fur. Otherwise you're only harming your cat by washing it with soap and water.
