Stupid Guest Tricks

LOL Hell no!

I've only once had to wash my cat.
She was little. She had no breaks. Coffee grounds, banana peels and band-aids where involved.

Enough Said.

Oddly enough, cat's don't clean themselves so much to be clean. It's more to keep the scent of us stinky humans and other unnatural scents off their fur, which is a survival instinct which could lead predators to them.

Yes, Darksin it sure does. :) What type Anthro did you major in? My MA is in Cultural Anthro. Loved the Physical Anthro digs though. So exciting to sift through finds.

I adore cultural but my real passion is Archeology or to be exact "Reconstruction Archeology". My husband is the cultural major of the two of us. :D:

When it gets dry down here we get fleas. Bathed the dog and the younger cat(in my sig) was scratching so I said "What the hell!" and gave him a bath too. He isn't afraid of water that much, I've even tried to get him to play in the tub but he isn't that comfortable with it. The water was warm, soap ready, and I was quick keeping those front paws away from me. I don't bathe them often but it was an option to a flea collar or the drops.

When I was a little kid, mom's Siamese would take baths with us. Bubble baths, no less, and we'd decorate her with bubbles. Which she didn't seem to mind. She was less enthused about getting shoved down the laundry chute, though. :D:

Cats are easy to wash, just put some soap in the water, put the cat in, close the lid, and flush a couple of times. ;)

There's another method that won't clog the pipes like this one does. Word of warning, though -- put something heavy on the lid or they'll try to escape, especially during the spin cycle.

Now guys, these are my babies!

One of my cats used to nap in the dryer after hubby or one of the kids had pulled out their desired article of clothing and wandered off. Always made me a little nervous (why, yes, I am a worrier, at least when it come to my cats). That was the stacked unit, though; lasted twenty years longer than the washer and would probably still be going if hubby hadn't finally decided it was too old to be trusted. Now we've got a regular floor unit, the thrill is gone I guess, because I've never seen her in it. :D:
