It’s Sringtime in the Northern Hemisphere and that means it’s time for Spring-cleaning. Specifically, it’s that time of year when furkids of the domestic feline persuasion are in need of a bath. It’s a task that’s undertaken infrequently because the level of difficulty involved is up there with martial arts. That it wasn’t included in the ten labors of Hercules just goes to show you that even that Greek hero wasn’t game to take it on. This TEDdy talk is a step-by-step survival guide to one of the most dangerous challenges a feline pawrent can face.

🙀 OMG! The CODA! If cats find out about the new trend in “swatting” people to disrupt their lives and put them in danger, all us cat hoomins are in big trouble!! 😬 Nice kitty…I love you kitty…get away from that phone kitty!! 😻😹
I thought this was one of the funniest “Furkids” posts and so true.
An honest tip — clip the cat’s claws before the bath. I use an ordinary human fingernail clipper. Turn it sideways, and clip off the hooked, sharpest part of the claw. Be sure not to go too far; you don’t want to cut the “quick,” or kitty will never allow any more clipping.
Even with the claw cut and slightly blunted, my sad experience proves that it can still sink into your skin. But it’s a *little* easier to avoid mortal injury if you’ve blunted the available weapons.
