I Survived...

Giving the cat a bath. Unscathed. Zack declined having his picture taken after the bath, even though it would have proved to everyone that he is, under NO circumstance, a FAT cat. I am amazed at how long it has taken for the fur to start fluffing back up to normal.

Survival tips:

1. Catch the cat off guard, by pouring the bath well in advance, and making it a bubble bath* so he thinks children will be using it. [Chase, we do not chant, "Zack, You're taking a bath!" repeatedly.]
3. Wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt. [Substitute with body armor, if available.]
4. Climb in with the cat and bathe cat [Not for the faint of heart.]
5. Be thankful that in the bath remodel you went for the super deep tub. [Slippery, wet cats find tall Whirlpool tub walls difficult to climb, but does make jeans and long sleeves even more important!]

*Kitty Shampoo, of course.
