Well, I did it - last night I gave them both baths. They didn't like it though. Belle was pretty easy, she didn't scratch or bite, but she did wiggle and try to get away. Katie, on the other hand, tried to remove my skin from my arms. She made some awful noises too, but once I started she calmed down. They smell better now and they're really soft Don't know that I'll do that again anytime soon though.
