How DARE you!!!!!!!

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.

1. take cat out of cage and give thorough brushing to remove any mats.
Return cat to cage.
2. Fill tub with a little bit of warm water. Add shampoo and cream
rinse conditioner. Be sure Hydrosurge is ready (a Hydrosurge recycles
the soapy water through a hose)
3. Grab slip leash and cat. Loop slip leash around the head and one
of the front legs, so the leash comes across the chest like a seat
belt.
4. Deposit cat into tub and quickly tie leash to bar. (we have a bar
to tie up all animals to during their baths)
5. Turn on Hydrosurge and proceed to wash cat as quickly as possible.
(the meaner the cat, the quicker you have to be)
6. Drain soapy water and rinse off cat. Remove cat from tub, and
place on towel.
7. Try to towel dry cat with one hand. (note the word, "Try") hehehe
8. Move wet cat to spare cage and set up cage dryer. (Also known as
the cage cooker. It's a warm fan dryer that hooks onto the cage door)
9. Turn on cage dryer and walk away.

Hehehehehehehehehe, wish it could be that simple for all of us, huh?
We wash the cat and then put him in a cage and let the cage dryer do
the rest. Of course you then have to hear the cat yowling at the top
of his lungs for the rest of the day.

"How DARE you!!! You DRENCHED me with WATER!!!! LET ME OUTTA HERE!!!
Are you trying to cook me with this THING blowing hot air on me? I
don't deserve this!! You RUINED my beautiful fur!! How DARE you!!!"

I myself have not given any cats a bath, mainly because so far I'm
proud of my claw-free record. I've been bitten, but that was by a
little kitten.

One of these days I'll probably try it. Maybe when the cat also comes
in for a dental and is knocked out with anesthetic. I've seen it done
before. Nothing like giving a cat a bath when it's in sleepy land.
hehehehehehehehehe

Wow. Bathing un-sedated strange cats is *not* a skill for the faint of heart.
It makes me kind of feel bad for the cats though. I bet they *really* hate the
cage dryer.
My silly little grandcat likes to be bathed. He honestly sits there like he
enjoys it. But you are absolutely forbidden to get his head wet.

Last time Felix got a bath, DH needed medical attention afterward for
an infected bite. We've switched to the waterless kitty cleaning
wipes, which Felix doesn't seem to object to.

It sounds like you should get hazard pay for that. ;-)

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