related to the OP - bathing a cat (even your own).

A few years ago I spent a vacation day at the doc getting a tetanus shot as my cranky (but needing a bath) cat let me know she didn't like baths. I had other scratches, but the deep, bleeding bite wound in my palm hurt like the dickens!

but, she loved hanging out in the bathroom when I would get ready in the morning and especially loved sitting on the side of a tub if I was in it and she'd play with the bubbles - go figure....she wanted to be in charge......
