A catfish, geoff . Curiosity does do something to a cat.

Yes, I love that pic Geoff!

Vee! Oh man, do I relate!

Geoff is right... oh the horror stories I have! 8[ (only two 'cause that's how many times I attempted it before I went running to the vet)!!!! What a relief when he told me that baths weren't necessary, in my case, as my cats are pretty much "indoor cats". Phew (where's the "wipe your brow" emoticon?)

Yet, what was worse than the actual bath was their reaction to the blow dryer! :}

I have half a mind to give it another "go"... just for entertainment purposes... if you know what I mean! [:I Geoff knows...

FYI, if you insist on bathing your cats, forget the rubber gloves (the claws tear through them easily enough) wear oven mitts! As sloppy and soggy as they get, they offer great padding/protection and they're a perfect vehicle to lather up and transfer the shampoo! ;)

Thank everyone for their kind remarks regarding our Jumping Brutus photo. I'll pass them all to my wife when she gets back from her back packing trip.

Here is a shot of our newer Burmese kitten, Kona Kai. Photo frame created with Xara X.

Kona Kai is a real beauty Al Kolka!
How many felines allow you to share your space with them?

Wendy,

One cat at a time. When we lost Brutus to illness--he lived a full, rambunctous 16 years--we went looking and brought Kona Kai home.

Thanks for the reply Al! ;) I only asked 'cause some of our members have a dozen +!!! :}

That's wonderful that your Brutus enjoyed 16 rambunctious years! I hope that Kona Kai brings you as much pleasure! ;)

16 years - inhuman terms thats about 90. For a cat to live that long, he was spoiled to bits, constant love and companions, no worries hakuna matata.

wendy, the gloves I spoke of were heavy duty electical gloves ( if you know how thick that is ) .
