Something similar happend to me. I have two cats, and one is really small and loves to be hugged and carried around and the other one is bigger and doesn't really like it. I had to give them a bath and thought the bigger one would be harder so I gave him a bath first and he just sat their quite happily and even kept putting his head under the faucet. So I was lulled into a false sense of security and gave the little one a bath. Holy fucking jesus her placid nature was replaced with some demon spawn from hell. She fought the bath like her life depended on it, the neighbours probably thought I was trying to drown her with the sounds she was making and I ended up with scratches all over including my face.
If you train them from a young age to not be absolutely terrified of baths, cats actually aren't too bad about them. Their fear also has a lot to do with your anxiety as well, and they can sense it.
Also, always bathe a cat with a partner. It minimizes scratches.
Speaking from experience, that's all. But most cats don't even need baths unless they have a flea/skin or other heath problem. They're naturally very clean animals.
I remember my cat didn't mind baths, SOMETIMES. For some reason she either would hate it or like it, it was very unpredictable. I thought she would like it the second time, so I just picked her up and she was laying on my chest (and so were her paws) and when she saw the bath water she practically STABBED me with her claws. There wasn't any scratches, she just dug her claws into my chest. The wounds were bleeding like crazy and I still have 3 dot-looking scars on my chest.
Okay, just checking. I personally don't trim my cats' claws because they're outdoor cats, but I can see why it'd be a good idea.
Have you ever used claw caps? They work wonders as well.
Usually, they're pretty clean animals. The majority of cats don't actually need to bathed unless there's some kind of extenuating circumstance, like illness or injury.
Am I the only one who, before reading the words, thought this was going to be a post about cutting?
Anyone else see it? (=
Yeah, I see Jade's penis, too.
Grats on the new xbox
Thank you!
No prob :)
Why?
Instead of going straight to home, you can hover your mouse over the option and click on written posts (so that only those are shown).
No problem. While this post didn't really bother me, I can see why others wouldn't like to see pictures of peoples' cuts.

That sounds like a good idea

My cat had been rolling in garbage and dirt so she smelled.
Haha that's a pretty good reason, too.
No, it's the box for an Xbox.
I don't see that anywhere in this picture.
YESSS
I bathe my cat all the time, yo. If you hold it the right way it'll work fine. I YouTubed how to bathe a cat and found a good method.
My cat was not a fan of the water at all.
Oh, neither is mine.
Oh my gosh, I feel for you!!!
lol she just smelled like garbage and needed a bath. thanks for bein there for me though :)
It looks like a smiley face. Clever cat.

My cat did that to my sister ;___;
FUCKIN CAMPER
It doesn't matter if you get it's claws trimmed...and never giving it a bath would make for a very bad stench
If you're talking about declawing, that's actually a really horrible procedure to put cats through.
I think you missed the word "trimmed". It's like cutting your nails. You could also file them. It's not declawing.

But I've never given my cat a bath and she smells fine. Don't they clean themselves?

Aye, but I know we had to bathe my old cat when we first got him, because he was covered in fleas. There could be a circumstance like that.
We should be able to flag this for gore. Disgusting.
I dunno, it kinda turns me on
This is not gore lmao you're completely overreacting. This is a tiny amount of blood. Get over it.
How dare you tell me to get over it! Not everyone is as brave as you are. Try to have a bit of empathy for others
At least it's not the shredded hand picture.
I think trigger warnings would be more helpful.
