Ooooo sooo adorable. But what's with its ears? They look small... or are they shrunk back? -
probably wet.. so flop over
i like the first pic.. where he was looking at the bath and the ears were folded back... a sign of an angry cat -
Soooooooooooooooooooooooo Cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Omg -
I think my cat has grown so fat that it finds that it can no longer squeeze past the fences to venture outside.
One day when it was raining, suddenly I found my cat sitting at the study room door all drenched and dirty and he went "meow."
Usually if he got caught in the rain outside and returned wet, I would simply dry him off with a towel... but he was soo dirty! I had to rinse him! I couldn't bathe him cos he was very panicky about it and too strong for me to hold down.
And then when I got to the backyard... I saw the gully trap leading to the outside drain open - as in, the entire square piece covering the hole came off! And so I reckoned he must've squeezed in and out via that hole.

aww.. poor cat.. sometimes if they're wet and cold, a warm bath actually is tempting enough for them to "volunteer" to be washed
-
I don't know how to start... The moment I bring the cat to the bathroom, it gets terrified and attempts to escape. It gets worse when I put him into the sink or the bathtub.Originally posted by the Bear:aww.. poor cat.. sometimes if they're wet and cold, a warm bath actually is tempting enough for them to "volunteer" to be washed

Maybe I'll try that... and put the tub in the open backyard so he doesn't feel so entrapped.Originally posted by the Bear:maybe a little tub like the picture?

"Ahhhh..." -

but in some pictures, the cat seemed to be enjoying it
still, what a pretty cat! -
The cat has lovely markings...very handsome.
Maybe he has some Scottish Fold blood in him - the small ears naturally flop down.

You have to be very "ngeh ngeh lai" and authoritative when bathing difficult cats. Here's how:Originally posted by MooKu:I don't know how to start... The moment I bring the cat to the bathroom, it gets terrified and attempts to escape. It gets worse when I put him into the sink or the bathtub.
I got poked by his claw too.
1. Fill tub with warmer than warm water (it gets cool by the time you get the cat to sit in the tub ), and get ready the shampoo, a good absorbent towel, etc.
2. Close all windows in the kitchen and the room where the cat will end up after bathing (to avoid drafts, and make the experience more pleasant for your cat).
3. Hold the cat firmly and take him to the bathroom.
4. Close and lock the bathroom door.
5. Grab the lower body of the cat (near the front paws) firmly, and start pouring a small amount of water on him.
6. Talk and pacify the cat at the same time, all the way.
7. Bathe cat as per normal - shampoo and rinse - quickly!
8. With one hand still holding onto the cat, gently press/squeeze out excess water from the cat, from front of body right down to the tail.
9. With one hand still holding onto the cat, place towel in your lap, place cat onto towel and wrap the cat up like a popiah.
10. Take cat to the room (with windows closed), close the door and dry the cat.
11. Release cat and give him some cat treats.
Good luck!
ps: you may suffer a couple of scratches at the beginning, but things will improve as you get better at it and the cat get used to the bathing.

i wonder how vets and pet grooming shops cope with bathing cats

They may wear gloves, but the gloves may frighten the cat even more.Originally posted by ceecookie:i wonder how vets and pet grooming shops cope with bathing cats
Some difficult cats become like a scared mouse when they're at the vet. -
