| After her first soak in clean water |
Since the weather is absolutely gorgeous right now, Oswin is allowed and very very willing to go out. Yesterday as well. She was back soon however. And completely soaked! When I picked her up, I didn't smell wet cat though. I smelled cow poo!
Oswin is so interested in the (cattle) farm not too far from me, that she probably fell into something she shouldn't have fallen into! It was awful. I tried to rinse it all off, which she didn't particularly like, but after the rinse she still smelled like cow poo. Harder measures were needed.
I filled up the sink with warm water, added a good dose of apple shampoo and dunked her in. I managed to give her a good washing, before she was completely fed up with it and started fighting back. But, after a good soaping, she needed a good rinsing, so off to the shower we went. Not happy there either, but I got her clean (enough).
I got the big fluffy towel out, the one I had been saving for myself if ever I felt really sorry for myself and dried her off. And then I gave her a bit of food, which she gobbled up, smelling like apple shampoo.

Well, at least I now know that most of her is hair! Because she was decidedly thin after her wash! I just hope she will leave the cow shed well alone...
What was she thinking??? Glad you were able to get her clean and I bet she smells a lot better with the apple shampoo bath!
ReplyDeleteHa! It took two of us to bathe one cat that we had. It was both daunting and hysterical.
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDeleteNothing looks more sorrowful than wet cat... if your response each time she comes back ponging is to bathe her a lesson MIGHT be learned. Wouldn't put money on it though! YAM xx
If it had only been ponging it wouldn't have been too bad. But she was covered in shit, poo and straw! It was disgusting!! And then she started cleaning herself!!! Not a good idea at all I felt...
DeleteHa! After that bath, I hope she learned her lesson! She's still adorable when she's wet. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG. So brave to bathe a cat. Our cats were all claws and teeth when put in water! But an apple scented Oswin is probably a very sweet cuddle.
ReplyDeleteIt had to be done! She smelled like a sceptic tank! She probably fell in the bovine version of one actually. And as for her being apple scented... Well, her tail is. Her head still has a bit of a whiff!
DeleteShe'll probably avoid the sink and the shower from now on, but not the cow farm.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Lindy, who hasn't rolled in anything disgusting for years.
