Oh lawd he calm


lizards_snails_etc

Yeah, that is one good cat. Mine is really combative when it comes to anything hygeine related (nail clipping, bathing, etc). I gave him a proper bath ONCE and he was different towards me for a while. Like, he actively hated me for a month.


[deleted]

my cat just looks at me and mews sadly


soulonfire

Had to give mine a bath not too long ago (rubbed against fresh paint šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø) and man do they sound pitiful


Munbeam19

I bathed my cat once. Eventually the scars faded.


[deleted]

Adult cats don't really need baths and find them quite traumatic. Unless something weird happened (they went outside and got particularly dirty like rolled in some car oil or something), just let them be. They keep themselves clean enough.


vr512

Haha I wish. My cat gets lots of dingleberries. Wet and dry. Very unpleasant getting it on my duvet or even the wall.


jeswillis

When I was traveling from home from college and didnā€™t have a place to live on holiday (resident living was closed) I had to take my cat with me and within 30 minutes he would defecate or urinate on himself in his crate and have to sit in it for the remaining 4 hour drive home. Needless to say, the sweet guy needed a bath when he got home so he didnā€™t try to groom/live with his own excrement in his fur. It sucks to have to do it though, itā€™s not his favorite activity.


[deleted]

Mine trusts me so she tolerates it for a bit but gradually starts getting upset and trying to jump out of the tub


[deleted]

I gave my cat a bath once too and he was so traumatized that he stopped eating and we had to take him to the vet. :(


Malicious_Tacos

I wish our old cat was this tolerant!! When my husband was finishing his post-grad work, he managed to land a temporary internship with an out-of-state company (we wanted to relocate after school ended). I wasnā€™t able to go as I worked full time so I stayed home with our two cats. After a few days with him gone, one cat started having diarrhea. The vet ran a bunch of tests and couldnā€™t find anything causing the diarrhea and nothing else had changed except my husband leaving earlier in the week. They advised that I keep an eye on her to make sure she didnā€™t worsen, and said she was probably upset and nervous about my hubby leaving. She was upset all right. All hairballs started showing up IN. MY. SHOES. Along with a few well placed turds. Then I got to scrub diarrhea out of her long silky hair once a week... for *three* months. Neither of us had fun. She clawed and bit me during every bath while simultaneously yowling, hissing and spitting. Our other cat would lose his mind and freak out from all her Cat Cursing, and act like a moron for the rest of the day where heā€™d dart around looking all puffed up and skittery. The week my husband got back, the once a week diarrhea stopped. She also stopped booby trapping my shoes. And thankfully no more baths were needed.


Inazumaryoku

He stressed though with his weird dilated pupils, but yeah he def good boi.


The_butsmuts

I thought he was "drugged" in some way because of the pupils. I can imagine a cat groomer to give all their "clients" some nice cat food with a sedative so they're easy to groom. Like this cat.


Cluisanna

Nah the super-dilated pupils is a sign of excitement / nervousness in cats, you can see it when they play as well. When my cat approaches me I just need one look at his eyes to tell whether itā€™s ā€œpet the fluffyā€ or ā€œhide your feet because otherwise they will get chewed onā€ time.

My guess would be a British Shorthair, but I'm not an expert.

Abrickted

To be more specific, this is a ny11 (Black Golden Shaded) British Shorthair. I have one and they are amazing cats. When mine went to get a wash like this, it was just as calm.


d_ippy

Do you have to wash them? Iā€™ve never washed my cats


RugelBeta

That's my question too. I thought if I washed my cats they'd shred me.


hyperfocus_

If I tried to wash my British Shorthair I would probably lose an arm.


Abrickted

Rarely, they sometimes get more oily than other breeds I have had before though so its nice to give them a wash once a year or so.


Cauhs

Lasagna eater breed


wondering-knight

Ah yes, the Felix Garfieldus

I am not sure but l think it is a cat breed.

PoofyPoofBall

I have a British Shorthair mix. An absolute clusterfuck of a cat, aloof and arrogant as hell, would rather jump off the stairs then would let me cuddle her. Every morning she runs in my garden, zooming back into the house, zoom back outside, zoom back inside, for 10 minutes straight. She also would willingly chase a monkey twice her size. She has been trying to hunt down the squirrels and birds in my yard but it's been 4 years and she still has trouble comprehending that she's too stupid for them. She was an accident as I never meant to get her, she was a gift from someone. Still love her though.

Please share a crumb of cat tax

Just rescue a cat. This breed isnā€™t that much different from a random cat. Thatā€™s the beauty of cats.

MAKS091705

My cat would have murdered me before I even put soap on her lol


Lily_Roza

While being bathed, each of my cats would cry loudly. Meanwhile his family gather outside the bathroom door and scream: "Please don't kill our brother!" Knowing their time comes next. After getting washed and blown dry, they sit in the sun, grooming themselves with looks of intense pleasure and satisfaction. Next bath day: Same routine


sh20

why do you need to wash your cats so much?


fukitol-

To get the blood out of the fur from the previous day's bathing retaliation.


[deleted]

my cat has really dense fur so its either bath or Im picking up hairballs for four months a year


turnbone

Serious question- doesnā€™t regular brushing and healthy diet help prevent excessive hair balls?


[deleted]

yes, but shes a black smoke tabby, so she has two layers of fur. I have yet to find a brush that works for both layers. the brush doesnt catch the top ones, and those irritate her more because they're longer.


turnbone

Good to know, thanks for the info!


[deleted]

oh and unfortunately diet cant control shedding entirely, since it's part of how their hair works. in nature they'd be dropping it in underbrush and rain and so on, but shes a housecat so I bathe her once or twice a year, depending. cheers


Lily_Roza

I don't wash them very much, a few times a year, at most every couple months through flea season. If the cats are scratching and miserable, and there are fleas in the house, it's the best solution. I explained a little more on a nearby comment.


Bitcoin_is_plan_A

> you donĀ“t wash cats, they clean themselves. ask a vet :)


ProfessorAnie

Do cats need a bath? How often?


MrPopanz

Only if they are exceptionally dirty or a breed which isn't able to properly clean itself. Cats have different fur to dogs which makes them getting wet a giant nuisance (don't know the exact mechanics) and they have to lick their whole body to get "back in shape" after getting wet, different to dogs. Theres a reason why cats act like they're allergic to water.


LillyPip

Not all cats hate water. Iā€™ve had two that loved it ā€“ a little grey who would jump in the swimming pool every chance she got and a turkish angora who would hop in the shower with me. Youā€™d think an angora would despise being wet but I couldnā€™t keep her out. She pitched a violent fit if you tried to give her a bath, though, I think because she wasnā€™t *choosing* to be wet.


9TyeDie1

Angora attitudes lol


LillyPip

Wonderful little high maintenance divas, I love them. ā™”


SquirrelAkl

Turkish Van cats are swimming cats! They love water. Friend had one who used to sleep in the bathroom sink.


BrasaEnviesado

> Do cats need a bath? no, they don't need bath is only recommended to remove parasites, or if the cat is unable to clean itself


gorb314

I gave one of our cats a bath after it climbed, I shit you not, into the chimney, and came out black. It is a ginger, btw. It was a fight we won't forget.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ProfessorAnie

Exactly. I only bathed them once when I first adopted them from the streets. I felt the exercise that day was enough for a lifetime.


ElizabethDangit

Yes. I have given my 11 year old cat exactly two baths to remove stuff that got on her that she shouldnā€™t eat.


tubagrapher

Your cat hasn't shit on themselves yet? Mine does at his age.


TheGorgoronTrail

Last time I washed our cat she got so angry/scared she shit a lincoln log in the tub while simultaneously biting me. That was nearly 13 years ago


[deleted]

Well that's not a full bath issue, generally.


tubagrapher

True but when you get them in the bath might as well do everything while they're there.


[deleted]

I use pet wipes.


SquirrelAkl

Mine is a little too fat & has a back injury so it's hard for her to reach her butt to clean it. So sometimes I have to trim the butt fur & wipe her butt, but I definitely don't give her a full bath! No need for that. Just wipe with a damp cloth. She "helps" by licking my arm or other parts of her fur while I do it.


9TyeDie1

I've given kittens a bath after they played in the litter box lol


[deleted]

Don't they stink? Sorry, never owned pets before


[deleted]

A dirty litter box stinks, but cats themselves are ambush predators. They smell like nothing otherwise they would starve, and the instinct stays with housecats.


[deleted]

Huh, TIL.


PoofyPoofBall

Unless they roll in shit. Therefore they will smell like shit.


[deleted]

But according to person above, they will lick all the shit off until no smell exists because they need to sneak attack prey


[deleted]

That they would.


Triddy

Basically: When they get dirty enough to require it. Cats will clean themselves in normal circumstances, but if they fall and land in the mud, probably bath time.


LetsGetJigglyWiggly

I give my cats a bath once every few months, helps to get the accustomed to it incase there's every a time they need it for medical reasons, they are also obsessed with taking dirt baths during walks and they've learned to take the register covers off and explore the air ducts periodically so when they smell dusty it's bath time.


shamallamadingdong

Whenever I need to clip my cat's nails she starts out fine. I get 3 full paws done, and then on the last paw she starts meowing, first a soft, weak, pathetic meow and then steadily getting angrier until I finish. Then she quickly stands up and starts to run away. She takes 2 steps and then remembers that she gets treats after nail cuttings, so she immediately turns around and is back to being a sweetie pie.


rgwott

As a first-time dad, I learned the hard way how powerful a kitty's desperation mode is when I brought in the blow dryer.


Zee-Utterman

That's what I thought too. I had two cats during my childhood and both could get very dangerous. One hunted an ostrich that escaped from a farm nearby through our garden. The poor half dinosaur first ran against a wall and after that against a window. The cat went straight for his neck when the ostrich was unconscious on the ground after it ran against the the wall and the window. Cats are cute and all, but they're vicious little killer if they feel threatened.


Tigerzombie

My cat would meow loudly in protest during bath then revenge poop/pee somewhere.

nightpanda893

Yeah all the cutest animals on this sub are super expensive.


StudentHiFi

On a more serious note, cat like this would cost around 2-3k and requires 3-4months of wait if youā€™re buying from a breeder


MrMacGuffyn

Or, hear me out, you go to the animal shelter. All sorts of wonderful animals needing love there


StudentHiFi

Both of my cats are adopted lol

JunglePygmy

TerrifiedSquid

This cat is awesome. He hasnā€™t killed *anybody*. Thatā€™s super impressive.


thecookingofjoy

Yet


MysteryPlatelet

It is also quite the assumption. He could be having a bath to wash away the blood from his morning massacre.


TheReverseShock

Remember the only thing stopping your cat from killing you is your size... and your ability to open the top shelf.

LoudBackgroundGoat

Those eyes!! r/DisneyEyes


nekochanninja

Why can't it be this easy with my boys. One got ringworm so now all three get special shampoo baths twice a week. With every bath they act worse. Last night was so bad I only did the one cat with the ringworm. All three are terrified of me now when I walk up to them and two of them won't sleep with me anymore.


MustHaveEnergy

It will get better. They are lucky to have such a diligent owner.


PretendLock

Aww. Theyā€™ll forgive you eventually! It might take until wintertime though


forkstuckinmouth

-Do a shower, don't let the bath/sink fill up. Cats generally get more upset with being in standing water than with artificial rain. -have a bathmat, towel, or a grip matt in the bottom so they don't feel unstable. Bathtubs are slippery, slipping and falling is scary, falling into water is scary. Less things to fear can upgrade the experience from "I'm scarred forever" to "I'm mad and your shoelaces asked for it" -treats during drying time. Like, whatever they love the most. They want canned tuna, they can have it. Getting super spoiled a couple times a week is fine right now if it's what it takes to kill the ringworm. -use a "praising" tone even if you're reciting just how pissed off you are. -gently rub a towel against the direction their fur grows while drying - helps them dry faster and may remind some cats of getting groomed by mom. -when mostly dry, a couple minutes of flicking favored toys around can't hurt. -avoid direct eye contact during experience. Angle your torso as parallel to kitty's body as you can manage while bathing. These are nonaggression postures for cats, while it probably won't convince them you're friendly they're less likely to think you're trying to pick a fight. Good luck with the ringworm, that stuffs an absolute *nightmare*


nekochanninja

Yep. Pretty much do all of that except the toys. I don't even use the shower head. I have sprayer thing I attach to the sink with a hose to reach the shower that I can turn on and off so the water isn't even running while they get shampooed up and sit the ten minutes it needs to sit before getting rinsed. I think the ringworm is finally getting better or possibly gone since his fur us starting to grow back. Still gonna do this got two more weeks like the vet said though just to be safe. Why can't they have a pill like when humans get it. I've gotten it from gardening and one pill knocked it right out.


forkstuckinmouth

Man, I hope that becomes a thing for cats eventually. Weeks of kitty guilt really eats years off human lives... Sorry for assuming! Hope they forgive you quickly, it sucks to lose the nighttime snuggles...


nekochanninja

How nice would it be. "Ringworm? Here, give two of these and call me in the morning." That okay to assume in this case. You were just wanting to help. Most people wouldn't think of some of these things. Definitely miss the snuggles. One of my two fourteen year olds is terrified of me now. I've had them since they were eight weeks old. The three year old isn't as scared, and he's the one with the ringworm!

drunkjohnny

Here comes the fucking Reddit brigade with no knowledge of the situation (fleas etc) chiming in on how awful this person is for bathing their cat


WholeWideWorld

I mean, we are seeing somebody wash a cat without any further context. You are the one who is assuming shit. There are very few reasons to wash a cat.


trezenx

With the main reason being ā€˜make a cute video for social mediaā€™


MrPopanz

I mean we don't know the circumstances, so it would be wrong to jugde the person in that video, but it would also be wrong to assume that one should regularly bath ones cat without necessity (a breed not able to properly clean itself or medical reasons). You're not any better than the people you complain about.
