How funny, Nomilynn - my daughter has to do the same thing with our kitty to give him a bath, by climbing in the tub with him. I let her take care of bath detail, and I just sit and listen to the pitiful meows coming from the bathroom......poor baby! Even with towel drying and sometimes blow drying, it takes at least a day for his fur to get back completely to normal - he always looks very "spiky" after his bath.
