bathing the cat

D asked if she could bathe Chloe since she thought Chloe smelled bad. Her father jokingly replied, "Sure." I tried to caution her, being afraid that she would get scratched or, worse, bitten. Ignoring me she started the bath, scooped up the cat and headed upstairs to the bathroom.

No noisy scuffles and 20 minutes later D came downstairs with a rather bedraggled, spiky looking cat snuggled into a towel. D claims that Chloe tolerated the bath, didn't complain too much, although she did try to climb the wall that the faucet was on one time. But she's been bathed. First time in the 3 1/2 years we've had her.

Hopefully this is NOT a new trend.
