I’m guilty, on all 3 counts.
Why you ax? ....OK...there it is [sigh]
We had a pure white [deaf] cat come to us as a stray. She tangled with a skunk. We got several cans of tomato juice ...put her in the set sink and washed and washed her to get the smell out. Wash, rinse, repeat. Imagine the worst. It was.
Rinsed her off, kept her snuggled in bath towels and stroked her, to calm her nerves. OMG!
Not thinking about the staining qualities of tomato ....poor cat was dyed a coral-pink color. She was all huffy and whatnot at us for about a week.
Guilty as charged. :)
[We’ve since learned about *Nature’s Miracle*]
The thing that most impresses me about your story is that you are still alive to tell the tale of “wash, rinse, repeat”.
If my kitty hadn’t sent me to the e.r. during the process, there is no doubt in my mind she would have plotted a revenge at a later date. :)
