    I like how the bottom just slides out. So convenient.
    UPD: It's amazing to me how he's okay with shaving but not the bath and the sound that comes with it. My cat had a removal surgery and the wound is healing every slowly and the hair grows fast, so I have to shave it from time to time. My cat freaks out from the sound and the motion of it, he literally shakes when the blade touches him even though it's cold and it shouldn't be painful. It's loud, yes, but it's quick.

    I had to give my cat an emergency bath which was her first ever bath at nearly 4 yo.
    It was also my first time ever giving a cat a bath.
    Luckily, my cat has NEVER intentionally scratched me or bit me. I had handle and touch her anywhere as much as I want and she will stay with me. She does have a limit and will try to get away but she will never hurt me to do so.
    My point is that I have even more respect for what you do, Vanessa. Bathing my cat was a horrible ordeal for both of us. Drying her was impossible.
    She did forgive me the morning after like nothing had happened but she ran away from me constantly that night. :(

      I gave both of mine a bath for the first time a few weeks back. Their first spring shed was bad with dander, shedding, itching so I figured why not try it so they know the experience. They'll never bite or intentionally scratch, but the claws were out while trying to escape once they hit their limit. The churu distraction among other tips was a great help.
      The overall experience was like trying to peel an oiled up potato.

      Hubby & I started bath training our cats as kittens, and at this point they can swim and will tolerate either a shower or a bath. They complain and want to be held, but no intentional clawing.
      The drying is a different story. No intentional harm...but the escape drive is real.

    Ive watched a couple of your cat grooming videos, and I've just been thinking of our old girl (short hair) who started getting matted. My mom kept saying wed probably go get her shaved if they got too bad, and I didnt like that idea, so Id pick apart the matts as gently as I could and even though her tail would flick she wouldnt run off while I was doing it (I like to think she knew I was helping her). It started getting real bad towards the end (Mouth tumor that grew super fast and we couldn't do anything to fix once we got her in) but Im happy I was able to give her some comfort while she was still here

    Adopted my cat at 3yo and the first time I took her to the vet, she scratched a tech, leapt off the counter and almost hanged herself on their equipment. I was told she would need to go under even for basic shots. She’s now 10yo and a complete softie who just goes limp in the vet’s arms. They even do her urine tests (ultrasound on belly with a needle in the bladder) without medications sometimes when I forget to give her the gabapentin. No idea why she became such a chill kitty with age. She’s still active and capable of defending herself when needed, but no longer sees the vet as a threat. Or maybe she’s just plotting her ultimate revenge…

      I can't imagine cats like smelling like blueberries. It must interfere with their sense of smell, and it's definitely not a scent cats would want to have following them wherever they go. I see no purpose in spraying cats with perfumes. Cats don't even smell bad like dogs often do.

    In my opinion, the happy hoodie is basically just witchcraft. It makes such a HUGE difference in my own cat. I cannot blow dry her at all without it, she turns into a raging ball of claws . With it, she meows and makes weak escape attempts, but I can actually dry her. Having the right tools completely changes the whole scenario!
