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...

ooh, ooh- photo, photo! :-)

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

You hairdryered Hamish? Wow. No wonder he freaked out.

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

We used a towel, but it was Winter and we couldn't get him dry enough and didn't want him running around with damp fur, so yes, we got the dryer out...
He survived, and forgave us not that long after.
