I think your own words sum up how I'd handle the "BATH" Question!

You really do want her to "settle in" - and to
learn to TRUST you 2-Leggers -

Kats aren't really All That "FOND" of an BATH -

subjecting her to a "BATH" is NOT the way to move yourselves up
to the TOP of her Popular People List!

I think I'd rather give Boots, da Kat, a KLAW KLIP long before
I'd offer him a BATH!

I'm pretty sure that New Kat would say:

BATH???
NO Thanks; I'll *pass*!
But THANKS fur askin!
Let's jest *KUDDLE* fur a while!
