My kittens really needed a good shampooing so I finally convinced my husband to help me give them a bath. Hehehehe... it was 'fun'.
Angel, the little darling girl, kept meowing over and over and over so pitifully as my husband held her down by the scruff of her neck to keep her from clawing him in the tub. She turns into a little devil! She fussed so much that the whole ordeal took twice as long to shampoo and rinse! And then after, we wrapped her up in a towel to 1., keep her from clawing us and escaping soaking wet and 2., to get her short coat dry as quick as we can.
Tiger, the good little boy, was a different story. He meowed only once as he looked up at his daddy before we put him in the tub. And then, he just sat there in the 2 inches of water as both of us soaped him up and rinsed him. He didn't take long at all because he didn't struggle or try to get out. And even drying him was easy! He would sit up and lick himself on the carpet as his daddy toweled his long hair dry.
I was even smart enough to turn up the temperature in the house to 80 degrees because both of them were slightly shivering. I don't have a hair dryer and most likely our little scaredy cats wouldn't get near it if I did have one!
Omg, they were so funny once we let them loose after a good towel drying! There's just something about watching a kitten twitch its legs to get a few flicks of water off that's so funny! But after they were mostly dry, they started going nuts, chasing each other and anything like they had gotten caffeine in their system!
We even have a paper grocery bag for them to play with that they were going in and out of!
So, how do you all handle your kitties bath times?
