There is only one four letter word for Rufus and that is B-A-T-H.
Nobody in this house is a fan of cat baths. But it had to be done. Rufus had a smelly behind.
Rufus knew something was amiss when we got home from the pet store. He tried running but Cat dad, in his thickest claw-proof sweatshirt, scooped him up. There was a bit of resistance but the whole thing lasted no more than five minutes.
The shampoo was great. It lathered up nicely and didn't have an overly strong fragrance. I didn't wash Rufus' head so I can't speak about its tear-free qualities. We picked this particular shampoo because it was for kittens and figured it would be a gentle formula. The shampoo cost around $9, which is not a bad price as I expect to use it for a while.
Here are the few pictures I took before I felt bad and made Rufus the biggest stinkiest pile of dinner.
Ashamed to be photographed in this state, Rufus attempts to hide his face.
He may not be a happy camper but he sure is clean!
Even though Rufus did not enjoy receiving the bath, you could tell he was very pleased with the results. Rufus' coat was so clean and soft! The bath did a super job of washing away much of his loose fur. He was strutting around the house displaying his perfect coat to everyone.
Rufie Rating: Four Paws!
[FYI to those more timid about bathing their feline friends, Rufus thoroughly enjoys waterless baths a la
Petkin Kitty Wipes!]
