It looks very stressed and alert... why do you bath cats in the first place, they're sefl-cleaning!
Sara Hime 9 years ago
Sometimes your cat just gets into stuff that will either hurt them in the long run or just stick to them (like chewing gum). They can't clean that up themselves and you gotta wash them...

He can't help it if he's ugly, he's obviously got a cleft palate or something, just like anyone born with a defect, they want love just like everyone else. I think he's gorgeous!
Tsveta Krasteva 9 years ago
I love that kitty! I would adopt one like him too. It's so cruel to call it ugly. As I am sure this fluffy can still love you unconditionally, truly and forever, knowing that you are his whole world and universe.

I work at a pet store. People not knowing you're not supposed to bathe rabbits (and ESPECIALLY not with soap!) Is a big reason we're always out of YOUNG rabbit food. We never run out of the ADULT rabbit chow...
Megan Bento 9 years ago
Okay I was laughing but rabbits can die if you bathe them. They can get pnuemonia and if you absolutely HAVE to bathe them, then you're only supposed to use a damp washcloth right??

It looks like the hooman is wearing a bulletproof vest, so the visor most likely is from his uniform. BUT wearing a vest also could help with kitty baths......

Pretty stupid to place its head directly under the water stream. That's not how you wash a cat's head, and it has every reason to be sad and scared.

Funny how they don't mind getting all wet running around in the rain, or through puddles, or from melting snow.... but give them a bath and the look at you like you broke their little hearts, lol.

Why would you ever bathe a cat? As my favorite comedian said: "Self-cleaning is one of their big selling points."
L Rath 9 years ago
Despite the fact cats self groom, they in fact should have the occasional bath. People who have pedigreed cats bath them regularly, (that doesn't mean constantly). There are benefits to the cats to be bathed.

My cat sneaks into the shower and actually bites and scratches my feet if he isn't getting enough water on him.
