Giving a cat a bath is by far one of the most unplesant experiences I've had. Jack, who will be 10 in September has never had a bath.....until recently. He in Thomas decided to get into a little "fight" while in the garage. Sadly for Jack, Thomas won by forcing Jack on his back and into a "puddle" of grease from the car. Jack smelled so bad and we were worried about him trying to clean motor oil off of himself so we gave him a bath. By we I mean I bathed him while Ward gave lots of moral support and positive encouragement.
Holding onto Jack with one hand, I scrubbed him down with the other one. He meowed the ENTIRE duration of his bath. It was so traumatic for him he also went to the bathroom in the tub (another object I got to clean that night). I'm hoping for my sanity and the sanity of others, this doesn't happen again.
For the record, Jack is fat and happy and no longer suffering from PTSD.
