Does Anybody Actually Even Bathe Their Cat?

[Road Runner]

I just went to get my allergies tested yesterday and I have a minor cat allergy. Minor one tell you and she started blowing things WAY out of proportion. She told me that I should brush my indoor cat outside and give her baths. I told her first of all my cat is strictly indoors because I don't want her going out and accidentally getting hit by a car or something and she doesn't need to go out like a dog. Second of all, she would completely tear me and any of us to pieces if we were to bathe her. Now I realize that sometimes cats need to have baths for certain reasons, but just to bathe a cat just to bathe a cat is a tad bit ridiculous to me. Especially when I'm not even all that allergic to her.

No.

My daughter bathes her cat because it has skin allergies.........That cat is trained for a long time to do so........

You can try it with other cats.........just make sure your medical insurance is up to date.

Only if that cat is declawed...

Awww,.. poor thing lol

Only if that cat is declawed...

It better not be. Declawing is so inhumane.

Use dry wash made for cats.

I agree with you….if it’s a mild allergy, why do it?

My cat fish hooked my lower lip when I was giving him a bath a few years back. Our guys trip to Vegas was the next day and I went, looking like a freaking terrorist with this big purple and black bruise. So did I learn my lesson? No. But I'm a lot more wary these days.

I didnt declaw my cat or cut my dogs balls from him.

I have cleaned my cat, I was making a funny though. Trying to wash a cat in the bath tub can end in many wounds if a cat isn't declawed (or some vicious bite marks).

I always give my kitty a tongue bath.

She loves it

I like nice, clean pussies. I hate dirty pussies.
I always washed my pussies, at least once a month. They were all indoor pussies, but sometimes would run outside when the door was opened and go roll around in the dirty. Dirty pussies!!

You have to LEARN the proper way to handle pussies when bathing them, otherwise if you don't handle them correctly, and say the right things.......they will rip you to shreds.

I pays to learn to be a pussy whisperer!!!!

Only for extreme situations, like for example, a bad diarrhea episode.

cats get revenge

I remember my brother and I took our cat into the bathroom, and put her in the shower stall and pulled the shower curtain closed. We peeked around the curtain and watched her curiously walking around, and then we turned the shower on. She yowled, jumped four feet up, and latched her claws onto the shower curtain liner. She tore the curtain liner right down the middle, and she bolted through the door she made for herself.


Explaining to our mom what happened wasn't so funny.

And mine knows where I sleep.

That's mean,.. funny,.. but mean. So I think I'll go ahead and give you a virtual slap upside the head and then laugh about it. (The slap and the cat situation) I hope she was okay though and I don't think you would ever actually try to hurt the kitty.

She was fine, she just licked her paws for an hour afterwards, lol! We were like 10 and 7, we should have known better, but... boys will be boys.
