    I have always bathed my cats after adopting them. My most recent one was covered with fleas, flea dirt, and just plain dirt. I agree, cats do a wonderful job of bathing themselves, but I won't hesitate to bathe a filthy animal before bringing it into my clean house with my clean animals.

    NO WAY. Do NOT -- EVER -- do this to a cat unless it is totally necessary for the health of the cat. Cat's DON'T need bathing; they do a fantastic job of it on their own.

    They actually DO make a bubble bath for animals (which can also be made with their regular shampoo). And even if they didn't ,would it not occur to you to use the stuff that's made to for human babies sensitive skin?? It's good enough for our babies, but not good enough for our furry ones???

    How do you know they aren't using pet shampoo? I don't see any indication otherwise. By the way - baby shampoo/bubble bath is NOT always a good idea for pets. The best bet is to always use REAL pet shampoo, preferably one that's made specifically for the type of pet you're bathing (ie: don't use cat shampoo on dogs, etc.).

    So could I just say that this is a reaction to fear? He might seem relaxed and at rease, but the truth is that this is very VERY stresfull for en bunny, no matter how cute it may look. Also, rabbits are very VERY clean animals like cats, they don't need baths, since cooling down to much can cause nasty illnesses in their lungs. Obviously if your bun had ran through mud or something, cleaning it is very imporant if it can't do so himself, but always with a cloth and if REALLY nessesary with this much water. Just so you guys know, this is NOT a bunny who is having fun!!!!

    Some of the longer-haired breeds, and show cats, are given regular baths from the time they are kittens, so they get used to it. I'm not sure if they ever truly enjoy it - but they aren't as freaked out about it as the average cat.

    Oh please!!!!! It is not cruel to give a cat a bath! I don't know if you have ever owned a cat but occasionally they can get into things that make them stink and then they need to be bathed. Stop screaming "cruelty" every time you see a picture that you don't have all the information for. That kind of thing really takes away from the ACTUAL cruelty that animals are facing and makes people way less aware. Kind of like the boy who cried Wolf.

A couple of them would actually wait until I turned away from washing the dishes so that they could jump into the sink and let the water run over them. So this is in no way cruelty!!
