I Protest!

I imagine this is what is going through Pixel’s head when we give her a bath. Actually, it’s more of what Roxy would say, because Pixel is such a sweetie, but I’ve never decided that risking my life was worth trying to give Rox a bath. That’s just asking for horrible pain and/or death.

Lucky for us, she’s the most fastidiously clean kitten I’ve seen.

    The only thing I’ve learned about bathing cats is this: let someone else do it.

    Seriously, after my attempt to bathe Calvin — the first time I’ve ever needed to bathe a cat — I decided that it was worth the $40 to go to a groomer. He said, “MY CLAWS LET ME SHOW U DEMZ.”

    And I bled. I still have scars.

    I’m not surprised Pixel put up with it. Roxy? No flippin’ way.

    Actually, Pixel is pretty good at getting a bath…at least from me. It’s like brushing her: I just tell her how good she’s being and how beautiful she is and she’ll meow pitifully, but she’ll endure it. I do have to put a hand towel on the bottom of the tub – that seems to help a lot.

    Chester, he has a time limit. He’ll take it only for so long, then HE’S DONE.

    I’m not going to try and bathe Roxy…Tim probably could b/c she’ll let him pick her up and manhandle her and she doesn’t really fight it.
