I had mentioned briefly at the end of my last post some advice on bathing a cat, well now I have the visual evidence for you that it is not fun. this all started when i noticed black specks on Harley's nose and grabbing her a brushing it off I thought to myself "I hope this isn't flea dirt", then on the side of her face by her whiskers I saw a brownish red spot and my stomach sank. so both cats had a flea dip last night, Taz was a pain and growled alot but he doesn't have any claws so it wasn't that bad, he kept the lather on for about 5mins as directed on the bottle. Harley on the other hand is only about 6 months old and does in fact have claws, and not as much worldly experience as her 2 year old best friend Taz, so she also hyperventilates in water. look at this innocent face

now check out the damage done, luckily to just one of my hands
here's my left middle finger

and in this one if you look closely below the scratch you can see five individual puncture points where she used my wrist as a launching pad

yeah that was fun, in all my years of having cats tho it's only like the 2nd time i've gotten scratched bad so not so bad after all
