once I put her in the tub she'll just sit there till I take her out.. she's the best kitty... when I took her out I dried her off and then used a warm towel from the dryer and wrapped her up like a baby.... I held her for about an hour and she purred her little head off.. after that I brushed her in front of an electric space heater and she just sat there purring away. Macy is a very good girl and now she smells A LOT better, her fur is softer and she's not shedding like crazy!
