AngelZoo,

The only cat I bathe on a regular basis is my Sphynx MooShoo, for OBVIOUS reasons!! He gets a bath every other week. By the time he gets around to whining about it, I'm done.

As far as showing your cats...I've shown MooShoo, Maya Linn and Carly the Curly Girl in Household Pets. All have done very well. But you're right, it IS expensive and takes time. It's alot of fun though. Seeing as I'm not working right now, I can't afford it. Maybe once I get a job I'll start showing again.
