1. Poor little kitty.

17. Yeah, poor little Arthur!

Cats always act like they're being tortured when you bathe then, the poor things. But once in a while, it needs to be done, and you just have to grit your teeth and get through it.

2. I just told my wife

"Remember the cute kitten pictures I showed you yesterday?" Then I showed her this.

Are they all acting the same way?

4. They weren't fond of the bath but all loved the toweling off process

They got LOTS of extra snuggles.

3. Awwwww

I hope your hands & arms are ok!

5. They are like Velcro!!

I have to peel those little claws off of my skin!

6. If you put a towel in the bottom of the sink their little claws

will grab it and save your arms from the worst of it.

7. Good advice!

Hopefully I won't be bathing them, again, any time soon. I saw zero fleas. Maybe the stretch of cold, wet weather mitigated the problem. I'll keep combing them, though.

9. they are so fun to cuddle

after a bath. I love the little fluffy perfume balls (with claws!).

Very cute photo.

11. Diatomaceous Earth...

This is used around our place all the time. It destroys fleas, ticks, beetles, etc.

I “dust” our dog with it to control fleas, pretty good for ticks but he still gets a topical.

Using a sprayer we dilute some into water and spray it on the high grasses around the garden to help with the ticks. Only had one on me this year with about 5 hours in the garden every day the last couple weeks. Rebuilding the entire garden so us old people can work the plants without bending over. Built raised boxes.
Ms.Hale can use a bench to thin the root garden, carrots are the hardest for her now no bending over now.
Outside it kinda loses a little effectiveness more quickly than I like but hey first chore of the day.

Google it for all the benefits. Meanwhile look at this.

12. Oh my goodness. Sweet baby. I hope your arms and hands heal soon.

13. Those little claws - pretty scratchy but not bad

They are already very skilled at using them to climb up my shirt.

15. The only time I ever gave my BUZZY a bath was actually a warm water shower

We had just cleaned the floors and someone had used bleach (house keeper) and the cat was rolling in the bleach, and that will kill a cat so fast, so i brought him into the warm shower with me and washed down his fur with warm to hot water, at first he hated it
but every time I would go to take a shower, he would follow me to the shower door and bang on shower door to be let in and i would open the door and he would hop in with and take a shower with me every time, purring loudly.

Most of the time i would just ignore him but he was so cute knocking on the shower door. He is long gone now, and I miss my little shower companion.
