Uuuugh, don’t even remind me that it’s kitty spa day today! I still have yet to give all the kids their baths :(

10 musicchick2 03.25.07 at 12:36 am

SOMEBODY is NOT amused! LOL!

11 Puffy Kat Girl 03.25.07 at 12:38 am

OMG

I feel sorry for it.

12 Rumi 03.25.07 at 12:41 am

Heh-heh, that is one annoyed kitty! Great glare!

Poor thing, though, having been bred to have such a smushy-face…..

13 lauowolf 03.25.07 at 12:49 am

And so there!

14 Yubi Shines 03.25.07 at 1:02 am

That is some beautiful fur.

KITTEN IS NOT AMUSED.

15 Maureen 03.25.07 at 1:46 am

Wow… nuffs in two. Is that a record?

All I have to say is the cat’s beautiful colours are even more gorgeous in the water! Kinda like a rock in the water…

16 anner 03.25.07 at 2:14 am

maureen – nope…check previous post for…’nuffs in ONE!

17 andrea l nash 03.25.07 at 2:15 am

Geez, Theo, what a guy thing to do …

18 anner 03.25.07 at 2:16 am

this cat is like, “first i run face-long into a plate glass window…and now this!”

19 pyrit 03.25.07 at 2:20 am

Jay Leno chin, Janet Jackson nose and Manga eyes. All cute.

20 Tor 03.25.07 at 2:21 am

Tongue!

21 Tricia 03.25.07 at 2:31 am

Nobody does “pissed off” better than a Persian cat! They have such “attitude”. I love them!

22 snopper beegle 03.25.07 at 2:34 am

Ah, what hve they done to me my nose, my nose, it must have gone down the drain!!

Seriously cute kitty.

23 lurkertype 03.25.07 at 2:44 am

A Persian tortie.

Yep, she’s a pinnacle of Disapproving.

She might scare a bun or two.

24 Suzanne 03.25.07 at 2:47 am

Kitteh: I weel get you for zis. You weel rue ze day you chose to bafe moi.

25 andrea l nash 03.25.07 at 2:49 am

Theo… My hubby, who thinks it would be really funny to let my rescued dog Ashley (Peekapoo) chase the deer in our backyard (there really are too many – they’re hungry)… asked me what the gestation period for cats is. Can you believe it? I…*I*…have no idea! I -proud woman that I am – ask your help.

26 lurkertype 03.25.07 at 2:54 am

2 months, andrea.

27 ajww 03.25.07 at 2:58 am

hahaha Monty Python quotes. <3

28 Merri 03.25.07 at 2:58 am

This kitty is going to exact some evil revenge on whomever put him/her in the bath!! Go ahead make my day!! I pity the fool that had to take this little one out of the bath and dry him/her off!!!

29 Lizzy 03.25.07 at 3:05 am

Somebody remembered to bring his angry eyes :)

Too prosh for words. Why is it that the more grumpy animal is the more I wish to snorgle all its troubles away?

30 DKN 03.25.07 at 3:16 am

The Disapproving Rabbits ain’t got nuthin’ on this kitteh.

31 Yubi Shines 03.25.07 at 3:22 am

And speaking of Persian kittens…

32 Puffy Kat Girl 03.25.07 at 4:34 am

I can just HEAR the kitty going all like
oooh yu suuuck! pbt
im gonna make you pay big time bwahahahaha

For some resaon I wanna snorgle it

33 shari 03.25.07 at 4:39 am

And this is why I always have short-haired, inside kitties. Who the heck wants to bathe a cat?!?!

As anyone who has owned a tortie knows, no kitty knows the pissed-off glare better than a tortie kitty.

Apparently, one with no nose is even better at it. There should be a law against breeding noseless cats.

34 MaliceAlice 03.25.07 at 5:01 am

So, wait. What constitutes a ’nuff? The first two comments didn’t seem Nuffy to me at all. If they said something like ‘don’t wash your cat, they can do it themselves’ I would agree, because that’s a rather silly thing to say. But that is a poor soggy kitty. With no nose. And an impossibly cute tongue.

35 Caitlin 03.25.07 at 5:15 am

I love how the pale fur on her chin forms a triangle that just emphasizes the frowny disapproval.

36 mike 03.25.07 at 5:31 am

my cats absolutely HATE being even slightly wet…

37 Theo 03.25.07 at 5:38 am

Andrea N & Lurker T — more often 9 weeks, but I’m OK with 8. BRING TEH KITNZ!!

38 Subhangi 03.25.07 at 6:51 am

Watch out for teh CLAWZ.

39 Nika 03.25.07 at 7:55 am

Hehe, she actually tolerates the baths. Besides being washed twice a year, she a happy kittie, always hanging out with that little itty bitty tongue of hers out. Speaking of cute kitties on youtube, here she is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUMz3H8l9xE

Random life anecdote: When I was a lil girl, whenever I would go swimming, I would love to look at my hair floating underwater. I would call it “mermaid hair”.

Kitty in the bath also has mermaid hair (mostly tail-end). And I loves it.

41 layla42 03.25.07 at 8:36 am

Nika–what a pretty baby you have! Even when she’s all disapproving and wet. I did laugh at her snacktime.
She’s all..”Treat! Gimme!”

very cute.

42 wolfwhocriedboy 03.25.07 at 9:20 am

okay, seriously, there isn’t a creature on this wonderful ORB that hasn’t been dipped in The Universal Solvent against their wishes. :D

My cat would have shredded the house and every living thing within a 20 mile radius. Still I admire the cat care-takers who have conditioned their feline-friends to the water-based form of personal hygiene. ;p

Owls, are WAY more peeved, no mater what, trust me!!

43 BrianMPLS 03.25.07 at 11:40 am

Nika – AAAH! I’m so not used to hearing the voice of someone whose picture got posted on CO! That’s cool/freaky!

Shari – Dod’t worry. I dod’t thigk dozeless gats do buch breedig.

Does mermaid hair look bad on anyone? I think it’s very cool!

44 Ninjin 03.25.07 at 11:52 am

I just love that face =3

45 Laurie C 03.25.07 at 1:53 pm

Andrea, usually 65 days, like Teho said, but it can fall anywhere between 56 days and 72 days. We’re watching a couple now at one of the feral colonies I help with, crossing our fingers, hoping they’re not too far along to still get spayed if we trap them.

46 Nika 03.25.07 at 2:40 pm

i cant help it, one more :) ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf6kT8oc5Mo (she now loves to lounge on that rug)

47 carmen 03.25.07 at 2:44 pm

not a happy kitty.

48 Teri 03.25.07 at 3:25 pm

Nika…your babeh does exactly the same thing my girl, Cujo, does at treat time! It’s identical! Right down to the claws in your fingers….lol.

49 Britta 03.25.07 at 4:02 pm

I have a smooshyfaced kitty of my own, and he likes his baths… he just hates the post-bathing snuggling afterwards.

Gorgeous Himalayan, Nika!

50 Lisa 03.25.07 at 4:34 pm

That is one squashed nose :-( Beautiful fur and a very expressive face though.

51 Jorden 03.25.07 at 4:47 pm

May I ask a cat grooming question? Do people recommend taking cats to the groomer to help them get rid of their winter coats? I brush & comb mine but it still seems like they are ingesting a LOT of fur.

52 sprout 03.26.07 at 12:17 am

People, cats do not need baths! They bathe themselves.. it’s just cruel. I feel bad for that little guy. :(

53 Theo 03.26.07 at 12:24 am

boy, I’ve never heard THAT before

54 Teri 03.26.07 at 12:27 am

One in every cat being bathed post I suppose. :)

55 Perosha 03.26.07 at 1:18 am

Why do people think smooshy-faced kittehs are ugly? I loves ‘em. *snorgle*

56 nika 03.26.07 at 1:52 am

cats need baths if theyve gotten into something icky for instance that they shouldnt be licking off?

57 Cathryn Bauer 03.26.07 at 3:01 am

This will always and forever be the image that comes to mind when I hear or read the phrase “the evil eye.”

58 Maria 03.26.07 at 2:03 pm

Nika – she is beauteous! She reminds me of my little tortie persian – we have to shave her down a few times a year to avoid the bath situation!

59 Purple Belt 03.26.07 at 7:20 pm

Jorden, I’ve been considering taking my fluffball cat to help him get rid of the winter coat. He is RIDICULOUS looking right now and I can’t brush enough to keep his fur down. He’s not matted or anything, but it just seems overly fluffy. I guess I could just buzz him with some clippers, though. He’d probably be very angry about that and be embarrassed at the bad haircut.

60 Chris B. 03.26.07 at 8:03 pm

At least there is only one person complaining about bathing cats. Those of us who do bathe our kitties don’t do it for fun, but because they need it. Jorden and Purple Belt, i would reccommend taking your kitties to a professional cat groomer. Kitty skin is easily cut and this way you don’t end up with all the scratches. :-)

61 Susan 03.27.07 at 12:48 am

My eyes are blue,
and I’m beautiful too,
so I steek my tongue
out at you

62 Montecore827 03.27.07 at 2:01 am

Jorden, a lot of cats freak out with electric clippers! Please don’t do it yourself! I vote for groomer or lousy haircut CAREFULLY with scissors. Or, try what I do: After I comb out my cats sometimes I wipe them down with a warm, damp washcloth – they love it. If the weather’s cold, I dry them with a hand towel.

63 Jorden 03.27.07 at 5:02 pm

Thank you for the advice! I have one cat-The Golden Egg (he had his picture here once, stoned in the catnip bed)-who I do get shaved by the groomer in the summer. He seems to like his short cut! The others have short hair, but they just have SO MUCH of it I can only imagine how much is in their stomach! I like the idea of giving them a good glossing with a warm washcloth!
