I gave my cat a bath.
After I read this on the internet I decided it would be a good idea.
There are some dissenting views on this issue but in general there is usually no reason to bathe your cat especially a shorthaired indoor cat.
Cats spend a large percentage of their days grooming themselves and they are experts at it.
Using their barbed tongues they lick dirt and debris off their fur in order to keep it clean and odor free.
Cats with long hair may require the occasional bath if their fur gets too oily.
Their fur can get too oily based on climate conditions and the individual skin of the cat.
There are also occasional times when your cat's fur may get excessively dirty due to some mishap that the cat has gotten itself into. In some of these cases it may be necessary to give your cat a bath.
So I got her, her name is Sophie, and the baby shampoo and decided to try this out with her.
She didn't enjoy it as much as I thought she would.
She has swam before when she was young so I thought it would be a much better experience than it was.
She scratched me and hissed at me even.
Which is something she had never done before.
I will definitely not try bathing her again anytime soon.
I'm gonna have to give her some warm milk to make up for it. lol.
I will say this isn't one of my most brightest ideas I've ever had.
