We had an exciting morning today. Every creature who was not able to physically soap and wash themselves had it done to them! It had been quite some time since the cats' last bath - nearly 6 weeks. Normally we try to give them a bath every 2-3 weeks, to keep them in the habit. The noises they make when we're taking them to the sink are so pathetic. Rhodium in particular is like a slippery snake in her attempts to escape. But I'm a pretty good cat wrangler/wrestler, and she has never escaped. Doesn't stop her from trying.
Dorothy usually falls asleep so early in the evening on weekdays, that we haven't been giving her a mid-week bath, even though we'd like to. Which means she was scheduled for one this weekend. She had an explosive poop (after nothing yesterday) while we were having breakfast, so we accelerated her bathing schedule, putting her on the "immediate" list. I do have to say that, although she does kick and squirm in the bath, she's much easier to bathe than the cats.
