My cat doen't like water at all.But She still lets me bathe her without putting up too much fuss.Once she's completely wet and soapy, she'll settle down and let me shampoo her and rinse her off.Needless to say she acts pissed off untill her coat dries thoroughly.(which means a few hours, she's a longhair)
Only time I bother bathing her is when she gets into somethin.Got out once and came back several hours later smelling like dead possum.No way in hell I was letting her in the house smelling like that.
