Feed her some White Castle's or some from of meat.

Pretty big leap of faith that there's any meat in a Slider!

[Springman]

You know there is, what type?????
Musliim's might not be able to eat. LOL

[Maven]

What did you do to that poor rodent? It's ears are bent!

Looks like a Scottish Fold to me - they have squished ears.

You do NOT..........repeat, NOT.........give cats a bath.

You do when they bump into Mr. Skunk.

The first cat I ever owned--Archie--not only liked to have me bathe him, he loved having the blow-dryer turned on him. He--I swear to God--really got a kick out of being vacuumed, too.

He died at the age of 18 almost twenty years ago, but I still miss that guy.

Ah, well...........the ol' "skunk encounter". More credence to the old adage about "exceptions to EVERY rule".

Now..........I'd just love to see someone give a vinegar bath to a cat (I'm told that's the only way to remove the smell from a skunk encounter). THAT would be worth selling tickets to....:)

Great story, Right! My aunt used to have a chico (one of those shakin' types) too. Waddawimp! But then, he didn't have back-up either.....

Your cat does a good Yoda act. And is adorable besides. Can I have him? J/K

I used to bathe my kitty "Beavis" every month. This guy was a fighter and flea magnet. A beautiful orange long hair w/no front claws who could kill birds and climb trees like a pro. It was like WWF in my little bathroom. After all was said and done Beavis loved to be wrapped in a towel and held like a baby. I miss my baby Beavis: The EX got him. grrrrrr...

Thanks for the laugh. One of my kitties died today from Leukemia. Here she is,

She just turned a year old. We knew she had Leukemia, they can live for years. Our other office cat has it too, and is 13 years old. Siren had one good year.

I'd just love to see someone give a vinegar bath to a cat (I'm told that's the only way to remove the smell from a skunk encounter).

At the time (late '70's) the accepted remedy was tomato juice. And the folks don't need no pictures. The scars are enough.

[abner]

Is your cat as innocent as it looks? Or, is it just an act?

[HP8753]

The one time I gave my cat a bath.I received many battle scars and the "sweet little kitty" (12 lbs) made the most ungodly sounds that it was the only bath he ever got.
This was a sound that the Psyoc Ops guys could use in Afganistan that would make the Taliban think the demons of hell were decending from the hills.

Take this to the bank: You do NOT..........repeat, NOT.........give cats a bath. They are exceedingly clean animals, and they don't need YOUR (e.g. owner's) help, thank you VERY much.

Uh, I have a Maine Coone mix, who weighs 25lbs. He eats like a pig (diets DO NOT work,) knocks over the trash, won't play (exercise,) and CAN NOT clean his rear end. Sometimes the other cats get fed up and clean it for him (that's what friends are for!) but sometimes he has feces stuck to his back end and spreads it through the house. EWWWWW. We haven't bathed him more than a couple of times, but sometimes you just need to do it.

I started giving FluffButt (not her real name) baths when she was a little kitten. She gets a bath about once every two months. First, I trim her claws - and she actually purrs while I do that. Then I give her a bath - she doesn't even fight it - she isn't happy about it, but she stands still and endures it. I rub her down with a towel and then I get the hairdryer out. Once its all over, she just looks at me like this:

MEOW! LOL :)

Yeesh!! I have advice for ya: Move. Move to a house near a lake. Every now and then, just heave that disgusting sucker into the lake. He'll swim his way out, be p.o.'ed at you, but who cares????

[Lizzy W]

YOU need to freaking relax.
