I've only tried to bathe Storm once. When I first got him he had a lot of fleas. He was pretty good but his fur was so thick that I had to have him bathed again at the vets. They said he was an angel. Since then I've never bathed any of my cats. When I groom them I spray some conditioner on their fur and it makes them smell like babies. Tinky and Jupiter look very cute even though their mommy is showing embarassing pics of them.
