Re: Wet cats

There is a breed from Turkey that likes water and will go into water in hot summers to cool off.

Bengals also like the water.

Re: Wet cats

Reminds me of the mogwai (apart from bright light, and feeding them after midnight)

I never mix cats and baths any more for the same reason. A very scary experience for all concerned. They seem to spend most of the day licking themselves anyway, so they can't get that dirty.

The pictures are funny though

Re: Wet cats

Re: Wet cats



those images are disgusting

I wonder if the people holding the cats would like me to risk dislocating their shoulders for them

Spare a thought for anyone that has a giant hairy cat like mine. I have had to bath her on a few occasions as they are sometimes prone to "hangers on." Actually she seems to understand the reason why I have to do it and will tolerate if not actively enjoy the process.

Please leave my shoulders alone .

Re: Wet cats

Having washed my cat a few times to get rid of fleas that she caught while being looked after elsewhere when we were on holidays I can say she doesn't enjoy it but has given up trying to escape.

She does look miserable and needs constant reassurance, but you can't help laugh at what she looks like.

The thing she hates more than the wash itself is the drying with a towel (even if you don't rub the wrong way etc.).
