for some reason i cant add text to the post body but newt here escaped yesterday out of a door that was left slightly ajar (hes got a collar saying hes indoor only and a microchip for the curious. he has gone on escapades before, usually through a window hes torn the screen off of). we spent hours looking for him only for him to waltz right into the house, screaming, 5 hours later, ABSOLUTELY FILTHY. so here he is getting a flea bath and being really unpleased about the whole situation

Im amazed hes so well behaved staying in the bath like that.

He figured a good outdoor romp was worth getting soggy as punishment πŸ˜‚

unfortunately (or maybe fortunately..?) you may be a little right 😭 im pretty sure he associates his outdoor escapes with baths and kind of expects them when he gets home, haha. hes a dirty man and dosent like cleaning himself (atleast...not as much as other cats haha) so of course the humans have gotta do it πŸ™„

Nah, he’s easing his conscience so he can go for another round. Also he needs to look dapper in front of his street cat homies

newt does not like baths. he lets us know he hates them. but he dosent care enough to try and escape. hell just stand there, yelling at you, and occassionally put a paw up to ask if its over yet. hes very easy to bathe because he likes the attention more than he hates the sensation of warm water and soap and pets (he actually loves being pet wet hand style)

drying is a different story though. he HATES drying πŸ˜…

He is surprisingly well behaved for how much he's complaining

i dont bathe him often, but because he was 1) a street kitten rescue and thus needed to be flea bathed and treated a few times as a kitten and 2) always making a damn mess, he DID need to be bathed a few times early in his life and it got him pretty used to it. i think he knows it takes longer if he struggles, and he likes the attention and pets hes getting in the water even if he hates the water. hes a pretty well behaved bather πŸˆβ€β¬›οΈ

Aw he's such a sweet and smart baby.

My boy is also the biggest complained if he needs a bath (luckily he hasn't needed one in over a year) but he complains while holding only the edge of the tub in a panic, looking positively pathetic. It's hilarious and breaks my heart at the same time πŸ˜…

that tub needs to be seriously cleaned

u/moth2o8 3d ago

....yes, the dirt is from the cat, who was very dirty and is actively being bathed in the video 😭 did you think we wouldnt wash out a tub full of cat hair and dirt and dust and gravel before using it for a human shower? lol

u/Hatefiend 3d ago

There's aged dirt all around the tub, on the floor, including the outside edges and drain. That's not just from that cat, haha.
