Marvel knocked over my sister's wine glass, with most of the wine winding up on him. As a result he just got his first bath tonight.

(10,143 posts)Adorable.
When we got my Freddie from the rescue as a kitten, he had ringworm and promptly gave it to our other babies at the time, Lucy and Ricky (Maine Coon siblings). The treatment was a prescription shampoo with leave-in conditioner every other day. Little Freddie and Ricky were pretty good with it but Lucy *hated* every second, howled bloody murder, scratched and bit. But they ended up ringworm-free with beautiful shiny coats.

(14,178 posts)After we got her, we couldn't figure out why she never cleaned herself like most cats do. Finally, after she was a greasy mess, I got some cat shampoo, put her in the sink and bathed her. She was perfectly comfortable with that, which really surprised me.
Figured out that since she had been a show cat, she was accustomed to being bathed and had never needed to clean herself, so she didn't.
She was a sweet cat and we loved her to death, but the bathing requirements were really interesting.

So......how did he like the bath??????

Our furry family members usually seem to turn into party animals whenever the opportunity presents itself. We once had a cat named Spot after a certain feline on a certain science fiction show. Anyways one day we were holding a party and someone left a mixed drink sitting on the counter. A few minutes later my aunt noticed Spot taking a big ol' drink out of that glass. Spot slept pretty good that night.
