Aw isn’t Puddy such a good girl? She doesn’t seem to mind the process too much, which means she trusts you and enjoys the fuss.

My two long haired, fluffy pusscats are weird in that they love the water – I always have a large shallow plastic container filled with water in the bathoom for them to splash and paddle about in. They sometimes jump into the bath / shower with me, and they love to sit on my feet while I’m standing dripping, and drying off on the bath mat afterward! Crrrrazy beasties!

I’ve had to give them a proper bath a couple of times, when they are really filthy or have had a tummy bug (I don’t have to draw a picture, I hope! Long haired cats + gastro = mess!), and they really love getting bathed.

I follow the same procedure as you, except I put an additional large folded-up towel (ie, very thick wad of towelling) on the bottom of the bath so while they’re in the water they can sink their claws into something soft and not scrabble about on the smooth surface, which can make a cat panic. I always have the box / packet of treats in view too, it seems to make them more amiable – no idea why!

Thanks for the photo “tutorial” – well done Puddy! I hope the dust clears and you don’t have another like that one for a while. It must have ben horrible, scary too.

And, yes, I got into a bag of chips they left on the table, and I ate them all before I barfed 12 times in one day My humans now always secure chips behind closed doors. I beg them for a taste and they always say no.

Daisy – I hadn’t seen a dust storm either and we’ve just had another one! Hopefully it’s the last one for a while. I’m glad I was able to help with the pop-up problem – if it was on my blog, I’d want you to tell me too!

Kelly – Haha yeah she wasn’t too impressed, hence the crappy quality of the photo – I didn’t want to leave her like that for too long!

Salihan – That is amazing! When Phill was little, he had a cat that would jump in the bath with him! It’s weird how some cats tolerate (or even love!!) water, when others absolutely detest it!

Glad all the sand storm is over though! Still cleaning from it!

Wasn’t that dust storm a bugger!

ps: thanks for letting me know about the pop-up. I am on a mission to discover the source. I think I have found the cause and deleted the widget, but I’m not sure. I wish there was an easy way to find out where it’s coming from!
