Zoomer asked me if I could get Columbus use to a bath. IF we have to do that again before we leave, and considering what an absolute slobette the white one Hyia calls Onya is, most likely we will, I will try to get her. SHe LOVED it. SHe is such a wonderful girl. She melts like butter in your hand with a huge roaring purr as soon as you touch her. She thought the bath was delightful, just one more big warm experience. The one in the video was the only one that struggled and seemed a little upset. Not bad tho, considering. THat kitten acts like a little barn cat, tho she has been treated with the same care as the others. SHe is afraid of more things, startles easier, growls louder and plays rougher than the others, and stalks like a wild cat when she plays. Water temp is a big part of it, not too hot, certainly not too cold, no water pouring when you bring them in, make sure they can touch bottom, blah blah blah. I give a good bath. EVen when I worked as a CNA I was told I gave a good bath. I always put the bath towels on the register to warm, and wrapped the people I cared for in them as soon as they started coming up out of the water in the electric lift. One over the shoulders, one over the lap, and one around the body. Privacy, and comfort go a long ways in making it a good experience instead of an embarrassing one. I don't hold too tight either. I didnt' mean to splash the water up on her ears, she wiggled at the wrong tme. I always make a soap ring around the neck to stop anything from crawling up..then outside I use a wash cloth and my reader glasses to inspect heads and ears, and wash faces so no soap gets in eyes.They rewarded me for my hard effort by diving into the fireplace and getting ashes on their fresh fluffy fur. SO today, its get the last of the ashes out of the fireplace. I guess I named my little donation cat to ARt Unleashed Cinders appropriately. I had 5 of my own cinders to clean up AGAIN.
Hyia is doing a stellar job of keeping all pot boxes good and clean and they are being good little kittens by doing it where they are suppose to. WE do still take them after they eat, and when they wake, and after they have played awhile as a reminder, but it is becoming less and less necessary. I see them making a bee line one after another to go, and that makes me happy.
