Romeo’s been a rather smelly cat the last few days (part of being as sick as she is). We’ve tossed around the idea of attempting to give her a bath while being nervous of just how crabby she’d be. This morning we were trying to figure out the logistics of getting her into and keeping her in the bathtub. Romeo saved us the hassle when she walked into the shower along with Jason this morning. Yup, just walked on it. There was that moment where we looked at each other and went “should we?”. And yes we did, we took advantage of Romeo’s serendipitous and random venture into the shower.

Jason was able to hose her down using the shower head. Surprisingly she didn’t fight at all. Jason washed her using some of Badur’s shampoo (its all natural and organic), watered down so that it would come out of her fur better. It was only towards the end that she started getting cranky. Even then she wasn’t attacking Jason to get out, but rather trying to climb into his lap to get away from the water (yes, Jason is totally her man).

Wet cat indeed. She was pretty much soaked through. I gave her a good toweling down to try and get most of the water out of her coat. First though, I had to get a picture to commemorate this moment (first bath in 8 years of having her).

After all the work we went through to get her clean, Romeo still didn’t feel that she was clean enough for her standards. Look at that tongue!

A last shot of just how cute and spikey wet cats can be. Rome has spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping in the sun to dry herself off.
