I'm confused as to how you appear to have 10 fingers in the photos and there is no blood! Grin

Never mind poor Snorg, it would be poor me if I tried bathing any of the cats I've ever owned.

ArchwizardTVampirebat · 01/11/2021 12:14

How tiny she looks with her big fluffy coat all wet!

skyblueone · 01/11/2021 12:15

Absolutely love his face on the middle photo 😂, he's not impressed with you!

Toddlerteaplease · 01/11/2021 12:18

She's as good as gold. They are not my fingers GrinGrin

Snorg is a she and I think Toddler calls in the professionals to do the bathing ...

But yes, the middle photo does not bode well...

Fluffycloudland77 · 01/11/2021 12:49

Oh dear! She is not happy.

JoanOgden · 01/11/2021 13:02

I love these photos so much!

PainterInPeril · 01/11/2021 13:04

She's planning her revenge! Just be grateful she doesn't have opposable thumbs.....Grin

Toddlerteaplease · 01/11/2021 14:01

She's a very good girl and doesn't bear grudges at all. She now smells of Marshmallow. Grin She does allow me to groom her but is much more cooperative at the groomer.

I would need to call in the SAS to get my cats to take a bath!

Toddlerteaplease · 01/11/2021 22:55

Her coat is beautifully soft and silky. She's purring her head off next to me. So definitely no grudges!

Although it could be lulling me into a false sense of security while she plots my death. (Though she's not clever enough for plotting)

But where is our fluffy after-photo???

PineappleSituation · 01/11/2021 23:00

That's definitely the face of a furry seeker of vengeance. :o

steppemum · 01/11/2021 23:02

OK, maybe I am missing something, but WHY are you giving a cat a bath?

I am 54.
We have owned cats my whole life, usually 2 at a time.
I have never, and my parents have never given a cat a bath.
(although they had one who used to fall in the bath, and run across the pond and fall in, but he is another story)

Mollymalone123 · 01/11/2021 23:05

@steppemum
About to say the same!
My old cat Fiddlesticks would actually get in the bath with me.
Are bathing cats a thing now?

Toddlerteaplease · 02/11/2021 06:40

It's just what the groomer does. Previous groomers haven't done it. She doesn't really need one. But it's quite handy for making sure any poo stuck in her fluff is gone. If she hated it. I wouldn't have it done. But I think she quite likes the massage with the shower head.

Bear in mind that the lovely Snork is a very long coated Persian, and they need regular coat maintenance to prevent snarls and tangles.

TheGriffle · 02/11/2021 08:44

Oh that is a grumpy looking cat! Her face! I always love it when fluffy fats get wet. They turn into little skinny rats.

TheGriffle · 02/11/2021 08:45

Fluffy cats!

Duckrace · 02/11/2021 08:52

I tried it with my fluffball when he was a big kitten but I wouldn't risk that again, and I don't think I'd be able to hold him. I barely managed it last time, and I was scratched all over! How do you get a cat to accept it?

chesirecat99 · 02/11/2021 11:35

I always love it when fluffy fats get wet.

Actually, I think your typo is the perfect description for giant floofballs who look huge but are all fluff and no cat eg Tiddles looks huge but it's just fluffy fat Grin

Toddlerteaplease · 02/11/2021 20:26

Her Majesty in her full fluffiness. Can't see her face though!
