I have lived with cats all my life and have a particularly close relationship with a Maine Coon Cat at the moment, but I cannot imagine giving one a bath. Why would one want to do such a thing? I cannot imagine that except in unusual circumstances there could be any good reason for doing so. Surely this is not good for most furry animals.
And you would know if the original poster of the video doesn't have any unusual circumstances? So if your pet has the runs or gets itself mud everywhere, you would like it be? How lovely to be your cat or the state of your house.
We had a Maine Coon mix for 18-1/2 years that we had to bathe regularly because she had a bad reaction to insecticides (read: fleacides) and this was the only way to keep things under control. Also: tip to pet owners who can't spray or use chemicals: What helped us is to take borax (e.g., 20 Mule Team Borax), spread it lightly over the rugs, and then take a brush to work it into the fabric. When the flea larvae hatch, they'll get dessicated by the borax. Really, really helped us.
We had to bathe a cat who somehow got gasoline on his fur. He was a big fluffy cat, and we couldn't believe how tiny he was soaking wet. He was a cool cat, and seemed to understand it was necessary. The other cat I had to bathe REALLY didn't like it, and I have the scars to prove it.

ReplyDeleteArbroath, I think u have a troll lurking around.
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely someone with an aversion to bathing animals, Elena.
