I dont think that I will bathe them,as I am too old to try,and get hold of them.If they need to be bathed,I will let Dr Marsales do the job,he has two excellent assistants to help do the job.

I gave up on trying to bathe kitties years ago! I don;t know what I would do if I HAD to bathe mine... YIKES!! I would be just as hottified as they are of it.... HOW in the world did you manage it without getting scratched to pieces???

My hubby was holding Maya VERY firmly, while I washed her with a cloth and I was wearing elbow-long gardengloves

. With Inka it was "rather" easy, as she likes it to be in water with her feet. Of course, after a while she realized that meowmy was planning to wash her from head to toes...

; but by then meowmy had finished the job

I am NOT looking forward to next time though

Awww, good job Lut! Poor wet kitties ... but I bet they feel better now!

So sorry to hear about you having such a hard time bathing the kitties due to that ringworm

I must have the only cat here that actually likes to get a bath....yes ...you heard it right....Abby loves her bath, and here are some pictures

funny thing is, even this afternoon I was hand washing a few items in the tub, and she kept trying to get in it!

Long time since I had to bathe a cat but when I did I put a collar or harness and leash on first so if he escaped from the sink I didn't have to chase a soaking wet cat all around the house.

Before we had 8 cats, I did bathe 5 of them!!! Only thing they seemed to mind was the hair dryer!! But, they sure looked all nice and fluffy when it was over!! The girls will look lovely once they dry off. Also, loved the photos of the cat in the tub! My Spunky would run around in the shower!!!

Oh my!

I haven't tried giving any of my cats a bath since they were really, really tiny. I don't think it would go over very well now, but I hope I don't ever have to find out for sure! Best of luck to you---I hope they all get over the ringworm, and it never comes back!

When I first took Zerlina to Petsmart to get her toenails clipped, I called and asked if I needed an appointment. The groomer answered "no," then said specifically that they do not bathe cats!

COWARDS!
