Cataholic

well to tell you the truth, I had seen it at petsmart before and passed it up. I decided to go ahead and buy it now because grooming Charlie, and really all of them, is SOOOO didfficult. I really do have to be able to handle them, and that seems like a way that I may be able to. but you are right, they will be frightened. I have been thinking of what their reactions will be when I put them in it for the first time.
I love my cats, love them very much, I would never do anything to hurt them. I might try it once and see what happens, if it is too tramatic I will not do it. and it would be in the sink, not the tub, and I would just have the water on lightly.
I also am going to check on some of petsmarts other grooming prices.

BUT, honestly, what do you think is worse, to scare them a little with someone they are used to in their own home, or to scare them more and bring them to a strange place and people they don't know? I would like everyones opinions...when I brought Charlie there and and she grabbed the back of his neck and pulled, I wanted to slap her! (overprotective mother?) then she still couldn't get him out, I had to. I had to hand him to a stranger then I left him. I wanted to cry.

from the posts already posted it sounds like everyone feels its wrong. was I a creep to consider it? I think I will still try it and see what happens.
how do all of you wash your cats?
