Look at me after my bath!

We bathed Dandy b/c we got her from a shelter and she had been a stray...she had flea dirt on her, but i only ever found 2 fleas (which we treated with advantage)...so now she is flea free and clean She did so well, i wasnt sure what to expect...so i guess we will be able to do it again, if necessary...she is an indoor only cat, so that shouldnt be too often...

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.

I agree. I believe even sweet little Peanut would be able to show Gabe (in his bad moments) a thing or two if I ever even thought about giving her a bath.

And poor little Dandy....they look so forlorn and put out when they are wet. But I bet she dried up nice and clean and fluffier than ever.

The only time I even considered giving Tubby a bath was one time he was in the garage with his daddy and absentmindedly dipped his tail in some motor oil. But I opted for just cleaning the tail instead of the whole Tubby, and even that wasn't a pretty picture.

The very THOUGHT of giving Edwina a bath! Ouch, oooowww! No stop, please....(that's me talking!)

Edwina has had her feet washed -- walking in muddy areas, the stripper I was using on the stairs, etc. -- and screams loud enough to be heard in Indiana! But her reaction to water makes her behavior at the Vet look like Miss Manners!
