The Martial Art of Cat Bathing (Another ganking from god alone knows where)

[corpusdei]

Some people say cats never have to be bathed. They say cats lick themselves clean. They say cats have a special enzyme of some sort in their saliva that works like new, improved Wisk. It dislodges the dirt where it hides and whisks it away. I've spent most of my life believing this folklore. Like most blind believers, I've been able to discount all

Fuck that. We just spike the cat's water with some liquid Benadryl. He doesn't fight much after that.

If you have a particularly insane cat, it might be best as a necessary precaution to put a screen at the bottom of the tub. Put the cat on the screen, and then turn the water on. The cat will freak out, and the claws will come out and latch themselves to the screen. Then you can do whatever and not have to worry about the little fucker ripping holes in you. The only difficulty we've encountered is trying to get the cat off the screen. Butter knives work best for prying the claws off those little tiny holes, especially if you already dosed the cat with Benadryl. Otherwise he'll just keep freaking out and trying to reattach any claws you've managed to pry lose back onto the screen.

I'm not joking either. We've actually done this before, so I know it works.

You know, I'm a cat person and I still can't help but laughing.

You are so funny. I read this to my boyfriend as we have recently purchased a kitten. When we were buying stuff for her he picked up shampoo and I quickly said, "I'm not bathing her!" He bought it anyway, and some day assumes he will use it, he knows I will not. After I read this to him he goes, "Who comes up with this stuff?!" Heh, I thought I should share.
I feel like wearing that gear just in her everyday life, she is such a clawer!

drr I didn't read the subject. It's still really funny. I went to that site once a long time ago and they had the scariest cat I have ever seen. What made it worse was red eye in the camera. Very freaky. I gotta catch my cat in action and get her up there some time.

i have a cat named velcro
who is very free with her claws
and i would be in deep fear of bathing said cat, except for one thing
velcro seems to like water in fact loves it as long as isnt falling on her
she jumps in the damned tub all the time and the sink and once into the toilet bowl ( dont think she liked that one too much)

Cats are funny creatures like that. Most of the time, though, they're like mine, whom you have to get stoned out of their little kitty minds on little kitty prozac before you can even attempt to give them a bath.

Funny as hell!!!!!!! I am the one who has to wash our cats when the portopotti time arrives.
Washing ours is like washing the tasmaninan devil; by the time the deed is finished, both of us are beat to hell and look like the coyote after being blown up by the roadrunner. All the while, we are waiting to hear the sirens of county animal control officers screaming towards your house after being 911ed by the neighbors who thought the howling was you torturing and sacrificing your pet upon the alter of Satan.
