This is why I like buying from reputable breeders. Theo was bathed right from the start as a kitten and combed by the breeder so he is accustomed to both. He actually purrs while I bathe and dry him. He is a bit apprehensive when I carry him to the sink and start the water running. I have to hold onto him while I adjust the temperature of the sprayer. Once he feels the water on him, he settles right down and starts purring. My Oliver was the same but, he never purred while getting bathed. But, he tolerated it and never scratched me up or cried.He likes having a bath!? You're so lucky. Forest threatens to kill me if I so much as wipe his face with a damp cloth.
I gave Theo his bath that I had been putting off. He was starting to matt which is a sign he needs bath so I got it done this morning. He took longer to dry than he did to bathe! He purred the whole time. Now he is so playful. He must feel better. I had a hard time even getting these photos! He was running around.
Lucky you! I wish we had one of those here. They only do dogs. I should sue all of them on the girls' behalf for discrimination.He looks beautiful!
I bathed a cat. Once. 30 years ago. Never again!
My three love being brushed, so I brush them and trim their nails regularly. I call a mobile groomer to come bathe them periodically. I don't know how she does it, but she gets them into her magic van and they come out smelling and looking wonderful.
You're lucky. I get the silent treatment for a while until I have sought forgiveness with some freshly roasted chicken or turkey. After they eat and ignore me for a while longer, I get some cuddles. They can't spoil me, you know. They have to remind me who is really in charge.
I have never seen these but have heard about them. I imagine they may work on a shorthair cat but not on Theo. I have stainless Greyhound combs I use on him.
He absolutely has the neatest personality of all the cats I have ever had. He is headstrong too. But, when he is wanting to cuddle, he is SO lovable. He demands I play with him several times a day. He is resting now not far from me so, the bath didn't even faze him. I love all cats but there is just something special about a show quality cat. Probably due to all the doting they get (and need). Yes, I think he is beautiful and tell him that all the time. He is my buddy.You're lucky. I get the silent treatment for a while until I have sought forgiveness with some freshly roasted chicken or turkey. After they eat and ignore me for a while longer, I get some cuddles.

Theo has the most gorgeous eyes. He's so handsome.
