I was < 5 at the time & thought kitty needed a bath! Had about 1/4" of water in the tub & tried to set him in. One claw (not one paw full, one scratch) & I had the sense to let him go his way & I went mine. I figured out real quick about cats being self washing.


The only way I'd try to wash a cat today is start the shower, close the door, & toss cat over the top of the door.
