Oh no! The poor kitty! Did you laugh at him?

I am impressed though, that he apparently remained still long enough for a photo. I don't think I am brave enough to try bathing a cat.

He is definitely giving you the evil eye, especially in the 2nd pic. How did you get him to hold still so you could take the pictures?

Cats are so good at grooming themselves, why would you bathe him?

Longhair cats can get a lil takky at times. I know with many persians, I bath each of my pussy-cats once a week, to keep them in tip-top condition. No cats don't need to be bathed because they have fleas. Just bathing a cat doesn't get rid of fleas.

Cute picture Tasha!, Thanks so much for sharing!

The only time I bathed Rocky was when he got something really sticky on him and his grooming didn't get it....I think it was syrup or something, but he totally HATED it!!!!!!!!
Zeus looks like he didn't even resist at all!! Cute pictures!!

We start bathing our kittens at 7 weeks of age to get them used to their life as a Persian. If you buy a persian off us, in the contract it says it must be bathed once a moth-ish


A Clean cat's a happy cat!

Zues is so good in the water! He sits in the tub and cleans his paws! I flea bathed him and put his treatment on. It's Summer and the fleas get bad. He is very good when he is held, he hardly meowed at all! I bathed him when he was 6 weeks old and he wasn't impressed, I am surprised he was so good this time!

Cute Pictures! Poor thing didn't know what hit him!

I've heard the same thing. Every book I've read on long haired cats recommends bathing them at least occassionally. And frequently if it's a show cat. Supposedly it helps get rid of dead skin and hair as well as other things.

Another thing I've read that is supposed to help get dirt out and fluff the coat is to use a mixture of 1/2 talc powder and 1/2 corn starch. It's a dry bath concept. Work it through the fur in patches, down the the skin and then brush with a natural bristle brush. Then fluff with a slicker. You can brush the little cute kitty face with a toothbrush (dry of course!)

Gosh, how did I get off on this!?!

Yes, of course
