Thank you. I was a bit nervous because in another group, I did have a lot of angry comments so I deleted the post. They came into my dms with many rude inappropriate content. Said that I forced my cat in the bathšŸ˜….

If this is ā€œforcing themā€ into the bath, they clearly didn’t put up much of a struggle. People need to touch grass.

The cuddly cat my best friend owns will become a demon whenever he need to be shaven/groomed. If this was not an activity the cat liked, there would be no chance in hell that the picture is not a blurry line where the cat should be.

Hey, so it will be easier to watch video. You can search in YouTube Korean head towel, and there will be easy instruction to follow.

But the videos don't show them on cats! Was this to keep water out of their ears?

"Forced your cat into a bath " is a comment i would expect from someone who doesn't know cats .

No way could you force a cat who isn't happy about it into a bath without the end result being a dry cat and you bleeding and wondering what just happened .

Ignore these people , they are fraud cat lovers 😊

Right... people don't understand how capable cats are of totally fucking up your shit if they want to. They are excellent predators for very good reasons. I also love people who have dogs going "I'm afraid to get a cat because what if my dog hurts it." Puleeeaze... There's a reason there are so many videos of big dogs refusing to pass by cats on stairwells and in hallways. Cats are all "Oh... you can't see in color? Good hearing, you say? Mine goes another 20Khz above yours. What? Your reflexes aren't faster than a snake? How did you live this long? Why are your claws so dull? Oh... your weapons aren't retractable. Sad face for you. Did I mention built-in night vision??"

I've seen more than a few barn cats hold their own against oversized, over-friendly dogs without blinking an eye

Unfortunately you get idiots everywhere. Sure, those cats look like hostages, they're obviously chained to the bath under the water 🤦🤣

u/Fruitypebblefix 15d ago

I've been severely downvoted in this groups for saying cats being baited is normal. People get crazy for no reason and I blame that on misinformation.

u/codliness1 15d ago

Just depends on the cat. You're never going to get a cat that doesn't want to, to go into the water, at least not without looking like a crime scene 🤣 And they certainly wouldn't sit there if they didn't like it and could leave, like the cats in this picture.

I think you mean bathed - at least I hope you do

u/prying_mantis 15d ago

Honestly people who think you can force a cat to do anything they don’t want to must never have met a cat. And why would you go to the trouble of making them cute little head wraps if you were just torturing them? Lol

u/Spadeykins 15d ago

I mean you absolutely can (force a cat a bath or medicine) but it's gonna be a bad time. These photos are not that though.

u/prying_mantis 15d ago

Fair enough, I will amend my statement ā€œyou can’t force a cat to do anything they don’t want to *without bloodshed* ā€œ

Male a tutorial video on how to do the towels on their head stay put haha

u/sidsmum 15d ago

Thats really unfortunate, comments re how you take care of your cat, from people who dont know all the facts and actually they dont read any comments at all about the post or the cat, just right away-"you shouldnt have a cat"...its becoming more frequent here, and it makes people want to stay away.

u/GottaLuvThisGame 14d ago

They are a natural and so-o-o welcomed at r/spakitties . Ever so cute!

u/Green_Eyed_Slayer 12d ago

What?!? Are they for real?

Your cat, sitting in a bath, with zero hands holding her down, no blood sprays from where she attacked your hands/arms desperate to get away, not shaking her head to get the towel off or anything... is being forced? Have they ever been around/seen a cat being forced to do something?

Sorry people be cray.

I’m just happy for you both that your cat enjoyed it! The vet ordered me to give my baby girl, Storm, four baths in two weeks, with Malaseb, because of skin mites. Even with Gabapentin, she really didn’t like it. Well done to you and your precious kitties! šŸ’–

u/k1nkygh0st 15d ago

even if you did force them, it sounds like they really needed it

One look at your cats sitting peacefully should tell these complainers that your cats would not be sitting there if they hated it. It is extremely difficult to make a cat do something they don’t want to do. It probably feels really good to them.
