I'm such a meanie! (It was bath time today!) + PICTURES

There are some very good bathing cloths on the market. These clean the coat & remove dander and loose hair and leaves kitty with a clean coat.

I only bathed George once, after he had been ill...never again. It took two of us and we only just managed to bath him. No photos for us.

I just thought if your cats hate baths, it might be worth trying the cloths.

Awww. Heh...Asim does look pretty mad...Tage doesn't look mad at all. Just let 'em sulk for a little while, and when they need to be petted, they'll come looking for you.

Or, yes, bribe them with catnip! lol That's a good idea.

oh oh, they look so angry and .... wet

Don't you dry them with a towel afterwards?

PayItForward: I have used other various measures to "bathe" them but they don't work as well as a real bath, plus I like to use the shedding conditioning shampoo on them, works really well when they are shedding heavily.
I have the Natures Miracle Pet whipes (which are also anti-dander) that I use for inbetween times.

I bathe these cats every 3-4 months since I have owned them, some days they don't like it, other days they put up with it.

Lut: I do dry them off afterwards, that IS dry lol, none of them are litterally "dripping wet". I use 2 towels on each cat straight from a nice warm dryer, and then I wrap them up and hold them close to me for a while.

You are lucky your cats don't mind most of the time. Your wet cat photos are so sweet.

So how long does it take then to forgive you ?

Hmmm about 5 minutes to an hour

They are too peeved off and busy grooming themselves to accept my love, or treats or catnip until then... sept for Tage, he thinks he's a starving orphan and will eat all food at all times.

He doesn't even LIKE catnip, it has no effect on him, but he thinks it's food so he'll eat it, he's just that desperate
