Ever tried bathing a cat who thinks water is a government conspiracy? I did. And I have the scars to prove it. It started with an innocent plan: make Mr. Whiskers smell less like a dumpster. What followed was a scene straight out of an action movie—minus the cool soundtrack. There was hissing, there was flailing, and at one point, I’m pretty sure he levitated. Soap? Everywhere. Towels? Shredded. My dignity? Gone. The bathroom looked like a crime scene, and Mr. Whiskers now hates me with the fire of a thousand suns. But hey, he’s clean(ish), and I learned that love sometimes means risking your life for a slightly less stinky pet. Anyone else have a pet that acts like you’re trying to drown them during bath time? Let’s commiserate in the comments. #PetBathFails #CatOwners #PetParentLife #Pets
