Miss Minx has gotten a bath twice in the recent past due to poopy butt (her gut does not agree with the special UTI food I have to feed her brother. :smack: )

I basically crawl in there with her and hold her down, talk to her constantly, and make sure that the faucet’s running in a warm trickle with the plug open. She doesn’t like it, but submits. It’s slowly dawning on her that bathtime means she gets more attention and pettin’s, so maybe I won’t have to bleed as much.
