cat bath hell from You Tube-not the automated clip!

[critter crazy]

I did not view the video, as I am pretty sure what it is. I was disgusted when I saw the video once before. I cannot believe a person could be so Dumb and mean to a cat! That is disgusting,a nd they should be arrested for animal cruelty!

This isn't the same horrible video that we saw before so don't worry. It's a lady trying to give a cat a bath in her kitchen sink and it's howling it's head off. Mine would be doing the same so this is why I don't give them baths unless I have to. I didn't bother watching the whole video because I couldn't stand the howling any longer. Poor cat.

Ahhh..I actually watched it after you all said it wasnt the same video. Poor Cat!! Thankfully, my cats enjoy baths and dont make a fuss.

I started watching it, and within a minute I had about 5 cats sitting around me on the sofa and floor looking very distressed with all the howling this poor thing was making. Eyes were wide, ears were to the sides and back, and they were not happy with it at all!! Poor kitty, I just wanted to take him out and dry him off!

That is horrid and I hate it. Poor cat, why are they doing this. Cat's do not like baths or water silly woman!
I don't bath mine and would only bath them if they needed it for a medical reason or if they had something on their fur that needed to come off.
If a cat is dirty it will clean itself, cats are clean animals, they don't need baths or perfume or anything stupid like that.

I actually smiled through the video. Call me a meanie but I didn't see where the cat was being hurt at all. Having a bath is not something most cats enjoy but I realize there are a lot of people who, because of allergies, etc., must bathe their cats fairly often. My daughter occasionally bathes her white kitty and she is quite good in the bath. This woman was speaking reassuringly throughout to her kitty and I was grateful to see that she was rinsing thoroughly. That is very important both with cats and dogs. My cats make more noise on the way to the vet's. Thanks for the smiles this morning Richard.

I watched the video and didn't see anything wrong with it. I also smiled thinking of Allen sounding the same exact way when I bathe him. It is the same exact scene when I bathe allen, only we go to the bath tub because he's so "fluffy" Cats sometimes need baths. I used to bathe Pouncer fairly reguarly because he had a habit of rolling in dirty cat litter. Allen gets butt baths from time to time. Harry's gotten a few dunks because of his pretty white fur looking very dingy -- in fact I've been thinking lately that its time for a bath again. I have never needed to bathe Abby or Flutter.... God grant me the serenity to bathe Abby if the time should ever come! She would think I was a murder and refuse to let me ever touch her ever again! She refused to let me pet her for 3 months after I brushed her last winter

I also had a few kitties crowded around me looking for the screaming kitty, with Flutter walking across the keyboards looking for it.

When I first got the Edster I took him for grooming.

He looked wonderful.

The second time I took him in I was greeted by the same groomer.,

Being the 'parent' I am, I was crushed when the kid took the carrier, looked inside and said....

I remember this cat, he freaked out when I clipped him!

This was months later and at a chain pet store, so for this kid to remember MY cat after grooming how many in between?.

When I picked him up he was half way peeled. THe kid told me that Ed 'refused' to have his belly shaved, but, the kid was nice and told me to bring him back later and he'd finish!

Ever since then I have bathed the Edster myself.

While it's a little work, I'd rather do it myself than let someone with no patience or taking the chance that someone would hurt or be hurt by giving my cat a bath.

I didn't find it horrible. I suspect the cat didn't enjoy the event, but I didn't notice blood dripping from the washers' arms, like you might see when I try to clip my cat, JuniRose's, nails. Can you imagine a bath?

Lots of folks have pets that howl when they are not in control. Juni acts as though I am trying to kill her when I do anything to her, when she doesn't wish it to happen. It is her personality. Although, I am happy to say that she is good at the Vet's (knock on wood).......

I thought the folks were very gentle with the cat. The woman's voice was very relaxed and reassuring.

The photo of the baby didn't need a bath.....but I bet they figured that out after this event.

Oh well. Different strokes for different folks.
