Chapter 5:  The "B" Word

This chapter is about another addition in my life---but this one was zero fun.  I don’t even want to say the word, every time I hear it, I get grumpy.  Ok I will say it, but only this once….the Bath.  

Andrea says I have to get the B word once a month because "clean kitties are healthy kitties”.  I really hate that saying.   And she soaps me up with this stinky baby shampoo; we use it because it is “no tears” in my eyes.  I don't think it smells as good as she says it does, but it does make my fur extra fluffy. I don’t want to talk about this too long, so this will be a short chapter.  The photo here of my discontent says it all.

The only good thing that comes from the bath is the treatment I receive afterwards. I have my own bath towel with “Van” sewn on it and Andrea wraps me up in it like a little bundle of kitty and rubs the wet off me. Oh, I also get lots of treats, you know, pity treats. And then when I’m almost dry, I get up and lay on the arm rest of the sofa. I’m never allowed on the arm rests of the sofa, but on bath nights, Andrea feels too guilty to yell at me.  #milkingit
