Some of you may remember reading about my misadventures in bathing a cat. (sept/oct issue)

Well, I just wanted to let you know that, with a little help from my good friend AV, I am getting better at it.

They used to be brown tabbies, didn't they? I told you not to use bleach, but would you listen - no......

It's wonderful to see humor here!! They're so cute!

Oh, how adorable! Is the odd-eyed kitty deaf? Odd-eyed white cats often are.

Hmm, looks like you used too much bleach in that last wash. I suggest you use Rit Cat Dye to bring their color back out. I washed my cat and several sweaters together last year and now have a beautiful dyed in the wool orange tabby tom. The sweaters on the other hand...

ROFL!!! What a great picture! Didn't read the cat bathing thing(been gone for awhile)but I have written articles on just that very thing (Cat Fancy etc.). So, if you can use some alternate methods that professionals use, speak up. Beautiful cats and so clean too. LOL! LQ

Do you use the dry cycle? :>)

Believe it or not, we had a cat who would bathe with my oldest daughter. The cat would climb in the tub with her and sit in the water or swim, purring the whole time. If only the rest of my cats were so easy!

Chuck, When I bathe our cat I have trouble getting the hair off my tongue. Any suggestions?

Boy, deja vu! I remember when I brought home my first two (I now have 4) all white kitties (with blue eyes). They weren't so much interested in the dishwasher as they were bags and baskets.

They look like my Buttons and Beau -- what are their names? Are they still all white? Mine developed Siamese type markings in a reddish- brown. I was told they were flame-point Siamese, but also told that they were Balinese.
