Our new kittens thoughts on baths.

Our new kitten Dottie, who we have had for about a month now, has got fleas. We figure she picked them up at the vet as we don't have any other animals and she has never been outside. It's pretty horrible for her with the itching, and for us trying to clean the house from all the fleas and possible eggs and then trying to keep her from being attacked again. So yesterday we had to give her a flea bath and our beautiful little girl turned from this:







Into this:



I would say it's safe to say she is not a big fan of baths

Oh, poor baby! She's still cute.....in a drowned rat sort of way!

Just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you.

Aww poor little thing - i must not laugh i must not laugh

AWWWWW!! omigod that is so cute!

So cute!

Can you post a video of it next time?

She's beautiful!!!!

I've never given Sugar Girl a bath, but she's not afraid of water at all. I was afraid she was gonna jump in the tub with me the other night, I finally had to get up and kick her out of the bathroom.
It's such bizarre behavior for a cat. I had to throw away one of her toys yesterday cause she had obviously thrown it in the toilet and fished it out again. I found it sopping wet on the bathroom floor.

Awwwww..... a new baby! Good on you guys!

All of my cats used to hate baths too. I miss my Siamese cats.....until recently it had been a while since I've had cats. This fluffy tuxedo cat's been hanging around for a while now, so we've been feeding her and calling her "Shangie". She looks a lot like my very first cat, black all over with a white underbelly & white paws. I guess she's ours now. No one's posting "Missing" posters or anything.

Have you seen the ghost of John? Long white bones with the skin all gone. Oooooh. Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?

????how did that happen? how did i post nothing??

anywho.... this happend to our house cat, she never goes outside, but my son was petting a STRAY cat & its fleas jumped ONTO him!! & onto my cat...she became infested.

so to those that love stray cats...DONT pet them, they may give you fleas!~

supercute!

my kittie alorax used to crawl right in the bathtub with me when she was a kitten. even now shes not scared of water, but wont just walk in the bath like before.

your new kitty is absolutely adorable!

be the change you wish to see in the world.....ghandi.

vi

She is cute, I love when they are that small

My older cat had fleas before and I went insane hoovering and washing everything

Cute cat! My cats don't like baths either.

You have to treat your animals with advantex or something similar. Doesn't matter if they are indoor our outdoor, fleas will find the animal!! Keep her treated and she'll be fine. My co-worker's cat got fleas and ended up getting very sick from something they were carrying. She is an indoor cat and the owner forgot to treat her one month. Those suckers always find a way!

Beautiful kitty btw!
