    You’ve never had a cat get covered in dirt or sprayed by a skunk, have you?

    Sometimes bath time is very much needed, even if the cat may disagree

      I wash my cat once in a while because she doesn’t do a good job of keeping herself clean.

      You don’t use the shower for that and you don’t make it a slow and agonizing process

        My cat responds far better to the shower than to a sink or wet rags. The sink is the only time she’s ever actually tried to claw at me, the shower she’ll go into and sit around while I gently spray her down, but she will look like this if I’m not done in a few minutes, because she’s young and hates being confined for any noticeable length of time.

        yeah most cats fear running water

        (but tbf if your cat has a fear of water in general there’s not much you can do)
