I agree... that is pretty horrible.

Cats have tongues to clean themselves, they don't need baths, that's a human invention.

They looked really stressed and traumatized... I like that the news guy went in it, he was a good sport.

A local vet has something really similar: www.allpethospital.com/petspa.aspx

I agree watching those cats.....well, they didn't look very happy, and I really don't see much of a need to wash a cat.

Of course, my dogs never seem really happy when they have to come into the shower with us for their baths....

That's what Phoebe LaRue does too. And I thought she was special. Oh well.

When we first got Phebes (she was a rescue dog with a mysterious, checkered past), baths were a traumatic experience. Her whole body quaked with fear until it was over. Now she just looks put-upon until we're done. Then she capers with joy, flips onto her back and slides around the carpet to dry off the excess.

Still, she never enters the bathroom willingly, as though it's a torture chamber of horrors. Sometimes she forgets herself and bolts in only to remember where she is and backstep out ever so cautiously.
