Yesterday, in a fit of cleanliness, I bathed my four cats.
But this time round, I put them straight into the bathtub instead of soaping them up at the sink. This made for a lot less noise and a bit more backache.
A couple of days before, I bought three new bath towels just for the purpose of bathing the cats. Beatnik had turned from a black and white to a black and yellowish kitty.
Scrubbed them good. One important thing is when they put their paws on the edge of the bathtub, put them back on the bottom of the tub. This prevents them from jumping out.
I had to take a shower after I bathed them to get rid of the fur. It feels real good.
Had to use St Ives moisturiser (Aloe and Chamomile) for my hands as they got really itchy.
Maybe I’ll be bathing them every other week. Would love to hug them without me ending up using too many tissues afterwards.

Good luck, Rummi! Make sure you shut your window so reduce any noise your neighbours might here. I move whatever bottles, stuff that the cats might cling on to in order to escape. Don’t forget the bandages and antiseptic. I usually end up bleeding a bit.

shower was done. no casualty. absence of screaming said tat she has no fear of water. shaking of wet feets is a telltale tat she also dun like water- its a comical site, like a kitten doing lindy hop.
she attempted to lick herself dry, which defeated the whole purpose of washing away her allergens. aiya
…n no, she didnt turn out like beatnik (yellow to sparkling white). i was fantasizing tat she’ll be washed from greyish-blue (is a blue cat) to pastel-blue. hehe
