4. I had one foster who tolerated baths

because I started her at about 6 weeks. Sumu was suspected of having ringworm (she didn't, and I knew she didn't, but I had to give her weekly lime-sulfur baths anyway. When she was small I turned her on her back to bathe her and she liked that, but as she got bigger she wouldn't tolerate that, so then I put a small towel in the sink for her to stand on and we did it that way. She didn't fight it, but she got a bit vocal in the later weeks.

OTOH, I had one cat, Jack (of blessed memory), who turned into the Tennessee chainsaw massacre at the sight of water. Giving him a bath, which we had to do on occasion, required full HAZMAT gear and a lot of bandaids after. For a cat who weighed less than 10 lbs, he could sure inflict a lot of damage when he wanted to!

5. There is no way my cats would allow this. They were feral. After five years I can hold and carry around

two of them but the younger two still need their own time to accept being held, sitting on the couch beside me - OK, sleeping on the bed with me - OK, scritchers and belly rubs - OK, but not holding.
