Only ever bathed my cat once, and having watched videos of same on Youtube, was expecting it to be a struggle of epic proportions. Much to my surprise, he didn't act up at all. To be honest I think he just resigned himself to his fate, in the hopes it would be over and done with as soon as possible!
We think he's 15-16 years old now, so getting on quite a bit. No signs of slowing down just yet, but all the same, we are very mindful to make the most of the time we have with him. Originally he belonged to a client of mine, who brought him over from the USA; when his job moved back to the States, he decided it would be best not to put the cat through that ordeal again, and asked if we would consider adopting him. We jumped at the chance and he settled in very nicely.
