Showers

[Quintessa]

Have you ever tried to give a cat a bath?

It's not that hard if you don't dump them in a bath tub like a lot of people do. My mom would use a bucket, they wont fight as much. Water scares the crap out of them because they feel they are at a tactical disadvantage(they can't swim fast, cannot run, cannot jump, making them easy pickings for predators, also they can drown from exhaustion).

Yep. I've given two cats a bath. The owner always came out with scratches, but they never once even hissed with me. It's all about doing it right just like you said.

I bottle raised my 2 furbabies and had to bathe them daily to mimic their mom "cleaning" them. Their mom was killed by a roaming dog protecting her kittens and only two of them survived. If I'm not careful they'll jump in the shower with me. They have zero fear of water. I have to turn on the sink in the bathroom so one of them can play in it when I'm in there. LOL!




They're 9 now and 2 of the biggest babies you'll ever meet!
