We give a lot of baths at our vet hospital. Of course they are mostly
dogs, but every now and then there will be a cat on the daily task
sheet that needs a bath.

Giving a cat a bath, huh? I'm sure there are some of you here that
know what that's like. Here's how we do it.

Hmmm... sounds like they don't get much of a chance to put up any
resistance.

Just ask John/Jaggath if you want to know about cat-washing... he
bathes every kitty that comes into his care, and for some reason they
almost all let him do it! (that's probably why he likes bengals and
abbys - they're both water-loving breeds) Some of his kittens even
come and play in the shower every day!

My old kitty Scamper (RB in April... I still miss her) would take a
shower with me every morning. She would also play in the sprinklers,
and splash in puddles on the deck in the rain. When she was thoroughly
damp, she was happy, and we all know what happy kitties want to do...
they want to CUDDLE!! Imagine a wet 8 lb calico kitty who want's
nothing more that to curl up on your lap and be scritched. She thought
being rubbed all over with a towel was an indignity.

I'll have to ask my BIL if he's bathed any cats. He's a vet's

Since you've mentioned vet's assistants (or "vet techs" as I've heard
them called), there's something I've always wondered about.

Veterinarians are the equivalent of doctors in the animal world, and
I think they make pretty good money. I don't know if they make as much
as doctors do, but it's certainly a decent living. And the amount of
schooling needed to be a vet is comparable to going to medical school.

But vet assistants are not the equivalent of physician's assistants.
Physician's assistants make a professional salary, while a vet tech's
salary is barely above minimum wage.

I wonder why that is? Is the amount of training to be a PA is much
greater than the what is required to be a vet's assistant? I wonder
why there is no profession in the veterinary field that is equivalent
to a PA? It seems that the only decent-paying job is veterinarian,
and everyone else makes almost nothing.

I would love to work in a vet's office, but I don't want to go to
veterinary school. So I wouldn't expect to make as much as a vet, but
I would like to make more than $6 an hour!

You are treating pets or livestock, not people. With people the
stakes are higher.
