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

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?
