The Washing Of Cats
I just gave my cat a bath.
He's been coming in with grey fur recently, so I thought it was about time to return the white bits to their normal shade...
He looked so funny!
He was standing in the bath, covered in soap, stiff as a rod, mewling piteously - and I know I'm not supposed to take pleasure in the suffering of others, especially when those others happen to be my pets, but I couldn't stop laughing at how very silly he looked.
He has now spent a couple of hours licking himself back to his normal fluffiness - except he kind of went overboard into INSANE FLUFFINESS OF DOOM, and looks sort of like he's been electrocuted...

The one time we washed Hamish, he was petrified. Especially of the hairdryer.
Looked so cute with spiky fur though, hee. :-D

I've used a hairdryer on my dog, but I've never been brave enough to use one on Elf.

He survived, and forgave us not that long after.

I love it when they go madly fluffy, but ours has too much Siamese to do that!

I've never had the balls to wash a full-grown cat, because I've washed plenty of kittens that tried to skin me alive! Still, between afixing band-aids, it was hilarious. :P

These days, I use a cat harness to hold him, and have a towel ready to drop over his head if he tries anything...

Cat harnesses are a brilliant invention.

The logic being that they would thrash around and lather themself up, and they can't scratch you through the pillowcase.
I have never been game enough to do this...
