Good on Mimi for properly desensitizing jimmy to baths. Didn't even move https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/149987882
Is the cat OK? Cat normally lose their minds at having baths.
Dilated pupils is "murder mode".
If you have been giving them regular baths since they were a kitten, it's usually no problem at all.
My cat absolutely loves water. It just depends on the cat
Sphynx cats need to be bathed like once a week, so they tend to get down with bath time. It pretty much comes down to training from a kitten
Depend on whether you train them since kitten and also the cat's personality, none of my cats like bath, but i've seen some cat video with cat loving bath.
My childhood cat had ringworm and had to be bathed with special shampoo for a while. He always loved human attention, so he loved the part where my mom wrapped him in a towel and packed him around. He loved it so much he'd come running when the water turned on, even though he didn't really love the bath itself.
My cat hates to be a burrito and that makes me sad and jealous
I'm pretty sure my current cat would also hate it. She tolerates being packed around thanks to a lot of training haha.
Yup, they can be trained. My parents neighbours took in a feral cat, about 1.5-2 years old. She HATED baths at first, literally had to get the oven mitts and eye protection for a quick wash.
Then in 6 months they managed to desensitise her to water, and she now BEGS to be bathed every week.
Dayum, that's a high achievement, with a feral cat even
I'd argue that you need to desensitise cats to at least getting bathed. When they'll get old, they cannot properly wash themselves and require baths. If they are used to baths the experience will be way less stressful for them.
Some cats might never like it, but they will accept it... And won't claw your face off. At least trim their claws before the bath to be safe
Also having a non-slip surface can help a lot, since quite a few cats freak out when they slip on surfaces, AFAIK.
Good point
Our cat used to take showers with my spouse before I moved in. She doesn't anyone, but she does still barge in to make sure the spouse is being safe.
Depends on the cat. Mine dgaf.
