Start bathing them while they are young, make it quick and follow it by a play session. They will be fine.

When Crystal arrived here she had what we think was ringworm; the vet prescribed a shampoo and I had to bathe her 3 times a week for the first month. She is so easy to bathe now, 6 years later! Plus, the shampoo had to stay on for 3 minutes, so we'd wrap her in a towel and Dad would walk around with her, talking to her, singing to her. Now, she is definitely "his" cat, and she flirts with him shamelessly daily!

Before I got the dogs (Dec 2006) I always bathed my cats, every other month. I'd change all the bedding that day as well. That night I slept the best I did in 60 days, but that may be due to being exhausted ha haaa.
