Oh the Indignity!
Persia's home! But she was so upset on the ride home she got sick in her
carrier again. We pulled into a gas station and I cleaned up as much of the vomit as I could with paper towels but she was still a mess. The fleece liner of the Sherpa bag was just covered in the stuff. And she kept trying to jump out of the carrier. I was terrified she'd manage to get out of the car and run off, so I said to heck with it, let's just go. The minute I got home I took the carrier straight into the bathroom and shut the door. Turned on the water to let it warm up. Opened the carrier and plopped her in the tub. You should have seen the expression on her face! What the heck are you doing putting me in this tub with the water running? Hmmm, why are you holding that shower nozzle... hey, wait! You're getting me all wet! Stop that! I got her rinsed off but she wasn't about to sit still for me rubbing her down with a towel. She jumped into the litterbox and got (clean) cat litter all over her wet paws. I picked her up again and got her paws rinsed off, then opened the bathroom door and away she went. She's now feverishly attempting to lick herself dry. As she walks around she stops periodically to shake first this paw then that paw. It looks like she's doing a strange little dance Apparently I'm already forgiven. She let me put her new collar on her, and she's begging for scritches and purring up a storm. Jill |

And necessary. All over and done with while she is still grateful to be home. You go Persia. Wait until Mommy sees how pretty you are after a bath. She may decide to do it again. Jo |

Jill If she's still wet, maybe you can "scritch" her with a towel...or try to hold her inside one to let the water absorb into the towel. -- Christine in Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com |
