Have you ever bathed a cat?

Kitty was stinky today for some reason, and so I gave him a bath…  did he enjoy it?

Not so much.

But he was really very good and it wasn’t nearly the struggle I had expected.  I held him in my lap, shampooing his belly before I put him in the tub… and after a brief struggle, he (unhappily) accepted his fate.  He just meowed pitifully as I shampooed and rinsed him in the tub.   I wish I had a photo to share of his pitiful little self sitting in the tub,  but I couldn’t let go of him long enough to grab the camera.

 I’m not sure if the bathroom will be his happy place any more.

  1. This sounds a lot like Mr. Fatness. The whine they produce is horrible, like we are killing them..but they do survive.

    Have you picked a name yet?

  2. Poor Mr. Wigglesworth….there is nothing more pitiful than a wet cat. But they look so cute all wrapped up in a towel afterwords.

  3. Ya… cats don’t like baths very much, I hear. My dog actually LIKES baths, which I think is abnormal. But I’m not going to tell her that.

  4. I’m not sure I would have tried it had he not been declawed in the front. (I didn’t have him declawed – he came to me that way).
