    That cat has nothing over my Max. When I have to give him a butt bath because of the runs, you'd think I was torturing him. He never scratches or bites but man can he be vocal. One time my neighbour knocked on my door just to see if everything was OK.

    The last time he was at the groomers I arrived to pick him up early and he drew a crowd. He wan't in the bath but under a dryer and getting combed and there were about 5 people all standing around listening to him and laughing. Needless to say, I joined in. Some cats are just more vocal than others.

    I found nothing disturbing about that video, in fact I chuckled all the way through it because I've been there, done that. Well, I don't wet Max's head or lay him down in the sink all the drama and more resides in my house.

    I did wonder about the amount of shampoo used. I don't think I would use that much, but you never know. Maybe it was a case of ringworm or something that needed that much. Let's try and not judge, OK.....and I do respect other people's opinions.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Yeah, I don't like seeing them frightened, and ESPECIALLY not by something the owner is doing. Our pets learn to trust us, and to betray that trust may have lasting consequences in the pet - owner relationship. On those occasions when one of mine does get vocal in the bath, I give it a hug and cuddle (getting soaked in the process) and then move through the rinsing whether I was ready or not. "Time to be done!" is what all the vocalizing means in this house! And I try to accomodate.

    I didn't watch the video because I doubted that I would find it funny, although I didn't think I'd be horrified either. I never bathe my cats, although I do wash areas of their fur when it's needed. I also use wipes quite often and they rather like being "washed" that way, I think because it's like their mom-cat grooming them. Perhaps people in the U.K., except those involved in showing, are less likely to bathe their cats (I'm a Brit ex-pat).

    Ahem,

    White cats do not necessarily hide dirt well........
    So looking at a dingy off white cat breaks my heart.



    Ed, Time for your bath?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
