His claws were trimmed on Saturday so i suffered no scratches. I had multiple towels at the ready (I have bathed plenty of dogs in my lifetime). All was well until I thought maybe I should blow dry him. BAD IDEA. I think he has forgiven me.Ali Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015782002583625223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21204813.post-46291550063383729452009-08-11T18:12:08.999-04:002009-08-11T18:12:08.999-04:00I've heard of showering with them too.

Only once in my life have I bathed a cat, and that was because he was absolutely filthy (had been fighting, and rolled in the mud with another cat - just a dirtball.) He fought hard, but I just held on and put him under the shower (being sure to not hit him in the eyes or whatever.) He was mad at me for a day or so, but then we cozied up again.Suldoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778845367184916684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21204813.post-73185626740152278842009-08-11T10:07:51.352-04:002009-08-11T10:07:51.352-04:00I had to bathe Nin every so often, and Fly at leas...I had to bathe Nin every so often, and Fly at least once. Nin used to be easy going enough, but never was! <br />To do it, I ran the bath until I had a few inches of water. In would go the cat, held firmly by the back of the neck. I followed with cat appropriate shampoo and rinsed with a toy bucket. I'd then drain the bath, still holding on to the cat. I always had a towel ready - neither of them ever scratched me, but Nin did meow miserably once she got wet...Veronikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936215451423608674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21204813.post-81338196610767074852009-08-11T09:52:31.489-04:002009-08-11T09:52:31.489-04:00You're a better woman than I am!

Of course this can ultimately lead to some nasty scratches but overall it worked pretty good. You could of course get in somewhat dressed (bathing suit). I would usually take the cat from him and wrap him in a towel and sit with him for a while.Snarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01442433646252927691noreply@blogger.com
