Show cats get bathed all the time. I have NEVER attempted to bathe a cat. Sounds like a death wish to me!

Some cats get into messes and need to be cleaned up. I don't think it hurts them one darn bit, it is just the loss of limb and blood (mine) that would deter me from ever trying to bathe any of my guys. My medical insurance deductible is higher than the cost of a groomer or vet.
