Amelia's bath went pretty good last night. A lot of the fluid seemed to come off of her this time. She still has some up by her neck which was really hard to clean because I was holding her under her armpits and my dad was scrubbing away at her belly and legs. She still kind of looks like a drowned rat. She let me hold her for a long time after the bath. She was shivering. I put dry towels on her and a fleece blanket and held her next to me. She purred for a long time. This morning she ate really well after not eating much yesterday. So I am relieved. I think she has been traumatized by getting in the transmission fluid and then getting the baths. I feel so bad that I had to bathe her but I had to try hard to get her cleaner. I'm still not sure if we should do one more bath or not. But I told my Dad we will see how she does during the next day or so and if we have to, we'll just hire a professional to give her a bath because it's just too hard. She scratched my Dad's arm up pretty good this time. I felt so bad for her. I know she was having terror by being in the bath. She's been curious about the bath before but now she probably won't even come into the bathroom. I wanted to try to comb her this morning but she wasn't really coming near me. She did let me carry her over to her breakfast but she didn't want to be touched much and I had to respect that. I'm hoping her nice soft fur in under there somewhere and will come out once she has a chance to lick it all back down into some sort of semblance of normal cat fur instead of it sticking up everywhere.
