Unlike past such experiences, this time he did not struggle and actually sat and enjoyed it!
He gets unavoidably dirty on his screened in porch (13 x 22) with dirt billowing in with the natural breezes or those created by passing cars.
He is highly allergic to flea collars and the neck drops for them, but does fine with the flea shampoo.
Oh, what a relief it is for us all...:)
Oh joy. The art of bathing a cat. That is an art that I never perfected. However, I read somewhere that one of the best ways is to put the cat in a mesh laundry bag and tie it at his neck. Dip him in a bucket of warm soapy (baby shampoo) water, and then rinse him in the tub. Dry and remove from bag. Sounds like a plan. Got to run now. Loveya.
