So I just had to bathe my oldest cat, sigh...it's a weekly thing, for health reasons. He actually likes the bath itself as long as the water is really warm. (I get dirty looks if it starts to cool off.) He can't stand being wet afterwards, though, so he pouts until he dries, awkwardly trying to snuggle with my other cat, assuming she will be sympathetic...she is not having any of that crap.
