Cat bathing...

[potsy]

any one tried to bath a cat-mine is not impressed at all.
He came in today absolutely covered in oil/diesel or sommat else sticky and bluish,just given him a quick wash and he's not happy

Took me a while to get him to come from behind the settee afterwards so he's dried off a bit in the picture..poor thing

OoooH That sounds like a major Tooth and Claw experience Just what injuries did you sustain?

Best thing is wipe em off with a dry towel and get the worst off. Cat will sort the rest (but may have a few "Tiger Parking" moments as a result). Unless it realy is Toxic

That does indeed look like one seriously unimpressed mog.

I'm always well impressed by our hound's stoicism under back garden hose assault when we get back from the woods. The water can't be much above freezing - my hands get numb - but she just stands there and endures...

Hah! I have bathed a cat on many occasions!

Well done Potsy and Waffles.

Do the cat owners on here do their claws as well?

 

[wafflycat]

I trim the claws of my three when required.

Crikey Waffles - do you wear a suit of armour? And if so how do you prevent rust Or is it that you have a wish to add to your scars

I have major teeth and claws when attempting to put moggy in box to take to vet

Our cat chews its nails. I have no idea where it learned this behaviour from...

I trimmed their claws a few weeks ago for the 1st time,watched a little vid online before hand where a lady vet makes it look extremely easy(the cat in the vid must have been semi-sedated) cos boy cat was a nightmare and he's normally the easier of the 2 to do anything to,so when I came to do girl cat was amazed that she sat there really quiet and still no trouble at all
Must add I was going to let the vet do it but they wanted £24 to do the 2 of them which was a little steep for a tight northerner

Ah - I see I'm a beginner then. I thought I spoke cat. Perhaps I need your Matronly tone. The one that works so well with MrWC
