Re:My cat has fleas

[cantrl . a]

I tried giving my mountain lion cat a bath once and it turned around in the tub on me, latched all four paws into my chest and stomach with it's claws and didn't let go until I carried it (by my chest skin) out of the bathroom, at which point it let go, gave out a terror shriek meow, ran into the corner and gave me the death stare for the next day or so. Never again. I now just do regular combing and occasionally I'll wet a towel and rub the bastards over with that. I guess you don't even need to give indoor cats baths anyways - oil in the skin, licking themselves, etc.

Hey critz, don't get any ideas with the cat hanging from your chest thing - it wasn't fun ;)
