Instructions unclear: I’am now in the ICU bleeding out

You asked for feedback on your hair. Here it goes: you're blissfully gorgeous.

Wow, for a vet, I’m surprised… there are so many better ways. I put about three inches of water in the sink, have a plastic pour cup with cat shampoo mixed with water and another large pitcher of water for rinsing. The running water with a sprayer terrifies most cat. Everything is quiet and gentle… no scruffing! I let them sit for a minute, with my hand on them, to soak up the water. Shampoo water goes on, their favorite brush massages in the shampoo. I scoop and gently pour the bath water over the. For the first rinse, pull the drain plug, and pour the clean water over. Bundle up in a big towel for most of the drying. Leave them bundled around the head and they don’t even realize I’m blow drying the body. (I’ve had indoor only cats for 45 years. Currently I have four cats. Two are over 16 and need a bath ever 4 months)

Your hair looks awesome and super trendy! Congratulations on being 1 year in remission, that's amazing news not only for you and your family but for all of your patients!

I recently fostered a 1/4 feral mom and kept her two kittens for mine. She was a nervous mom and glad to move on. They came with fleas so I had to wash them all twice. I came up with this calm routine. The first time was a disaster with the two high strung females. The laid back male did fine the first time. Thought I'd share this technique: The key is quiet, quickness and Warmth. HAVE 2 PEOPLE. Have the sink area cleared of stuff they can grab. Have the second person warming towels in a dryer for you. Have the Flea soap, Dawn or shampoo Warmly Watered down in a cup off to the side away from grabbing range. YOU NEED QUIET SO DON'T HAVE ANY WATER RUNNING AND FOR GOSH SAKE DO NOT USE A SPRAY I learned that the hard way with a bite down to the knuckle. Have 4 or more tall warm rinse cups waiting also. Put the cat in the sink talking calmly and praising that's a good kitty the whole time. Put the sudsy soap mixture all over them NOT THE HEAD you can wash that later with a warm wet washcloth. Rub it in quickly praising the whole time. Try not to splash. One by one just as quickly put all four rinse cups on them and HAVE THE OTHER PERSON SO GET THE FIRST DRYER WARMED TOWEL. Once rinsed pull the cat out wrapped in the towel. Isolate in a warm room and use the other 3 towels on them as they rub on a carpet or a bed ( LOL ) Leave cat alone until they're dry and speaking to you again. LOL. I got two kittens and one adult in four minutes each. The first time I did it You woulda thought I was killing the two girl kitties. Start kittens early ( if you can ) and by the time they are old, stinky and not grooming any more they may actually like this. <3

Stanley is alot calmer than how my cat would be if the water turned on. The blow drying he was so patient!

my cat always acts like she’s DYING when I put her in the bath. Not even with any water in it, she’s screaming and hollerin and being dramatic while I’m being as easy and calm as I can with her splashing me with water 😵‍💫

One, love the hair! Two, I know I'm going to get some sort of funny looks for this but... I bathe my two cats once a month. One is a very outdoorsy one and the other ends up smelling pretty bad after a few weeks. I don't have a bath tub, I have a spacious shower. I actually sit at their level and have them on my lap, cuddling them while bathing them. They don't like it, but I never have a fight with them. As long as I'm giving them comfort, they get through it.

I'm sorry, but I am HOWLING at the look on his face getting blow-dried LMFAOOO he just looked like "what did I do to deserve this?" 😂

No need for a wig. You look beautiful with short hair.

This is my first time viewing your channel. Wishing you well. You look fabulous! I got a lot out of watching you bathe Stanley. I’m going to give it a try. Thank you! I learned a lot. Miriam from New Jersey

Stanley is such a good boy for going along with this. He’s amazing. Thank you!

So happy to see you getting well! I love everything about who and what you are. Do whatever you are comfortable with! I usually have to bring my cat into my enclosed shower and i still get some scratches as she tries to climb up me and get out of the shower.

You’re beautiful. Do not wear a wig.

Awwww look how cute he looks all wet & crying 😂 I just love cats especially ragdollls 😍

I'm so glad you are doing well and feeling better! Your hair is cute and you are beautiful!

Calmest cat Ive ever seen being given a bath. Did you give him drugs to calm him Down first?

None of my cats will behave like this cat ever whilst having a bath like that, this cat is a saint!

I'm watching all of these videos for advice, as a new cat mum. I need to bathe both kittens at some point but I'm so nervous 🙈. Thanks for this, it helps to see different techniques and from a pro. BTW, nothing wrong with your natural hair, it looks fab congratulations on your journey back to full recovery 🙏🏾
