The only time that I have had to bath a cat was the late Mr. Fluffy , who was very long haired , ans some of his waste was gathering on the fur undr his tail.PU! So I put him inthe launrry tub , washed him off and had him groomed the next day. I wish I had shots of him , so Jen could post them , but alas no film that day!

I'm very impressed!

I would never be able to do that to Fister! Peanut looks really sweet and fluffy on the "after" picture - and so funny with the vet tail. A good idea with the hot towel!

Thanks everybody. I loved the "rat" tail too. Not only is it really skinny, but it's so dark compared to the rest of her too.

She was actually very meek and didn't move around a whole lot, just kept trying to push the sliding doors open from the other side. Had we had a shower curtain instead of those doors, it might not have been as easy as it was. And she didn't say a word the whole time either - which I was surprised at. She really is a good kitty.

Some parts of her, like her tummy and parts underneath her tail, are still nice and fluffy, but most of those "spots" are on her hind quarters and the oil is spreading fast to the rest of her top half. I think next time I will try and get closer to her face - like her neck. I was trying to be careful to not get water or soap in her eyes so I didn't get too close, but I will next time.

I had gotten some oatmeal & aloe vera shampoo which is supposed to help itchy skin. I'm thinking it's working because her tummy is still nice and fluffy.

Awwwww....bless her little kitty heart!! Isn't it amazing how "big as saucers" kitty eyes can become during bathtime??!! LOL Marius and Scooter both need one too...definitely NOT their favorite thing in the world!
