Sometimes forget how hard it is to get to bathe a cat.
Best thing to do is to let it out on a rainy day, then let it come back, then you dry it. Easier ^_^ (That's what i think anyways..) -
no... i usually throw mine into the washing machine...Originally posted by carpe diem jur:hahhahahaahaha.... is this ur cat???

Sounds like giving my dog a bath when I had a dog.
He will run and hide and whine and cry, struggle and put up a fight when I give him a bathe. And he is not a toy dog. He's medium sized but I can still carry him.
Best thing is that, I need to give myself a bathe when I give him one because he will wet me from head to toe.
Then after that he will go rub himself all over his rug and ignore me for an hour
I always tell my friends," He's a dog with the personality of a cat."
Addition: How I catch my dog is play fetch with him. When he brings me his toy, I grab him. That's when the struggle and whining bit comes in. -

thats funny, Bear!!!! and so true!!!!!
I dun bathe my cats alone anymore coz my whole body, face and arms get scratched real bad...Looks like I was mauled by a lion....
I now send them to these nice groomers to take care of them.....the first time the cats went there, it took 3 groomers plus me to hold down Picasso for his wash and we all got scratched!!! -
That cat looks so adorable when it's wet
Personally, I don't like cats, I just like to look at them from far & make meow sounds with them
-
Next time, go closer to them, meow at them from near, and give them a pat on the head..~ You'll like it.Originally posted by Cepat:That cat looks so adorable when it's wet

I wonder if you can blind fold the cat so that it doesnt know you are up to no good....I never tried that. -

Cats are lactose intolerant....makes them lao sai....Originally posted by Cepat:The cats I meow are usually those long kang cats...but I do give them fresh milk to drink
please try not to give milk if you can...some can even die from it if they are strays and very malnourished. They like it but its not good for them. -
Then give them fish?
