I never had to give my first cat a bath, she was very dainty and lazy. Of course, my new cat has to be the exact opposite. He managed to find a hole in the basement window and got out last night. He's gotten out before, and got caught, and he's broken the barricades we've set up there too, but at least he always came back. We weren't home until midnight but when we discovered he wasn't there we searched for 3 hours over the neighborhood but found no sign of him. Eventually we went to sleep, and when I woke up early I saw the snotball on top of the dresser in another room like he usually does in the morning. I went up to him and was blown away by the stench, he smelled like dogshit or skunk. Immediately I started the bath and let him have it (he still isn't afraid of water, didn't make it any easier though) and managed to clean out most of it, but there's still a lingering bit of the smell on him. I'm gonna try the tomato juice bath after my mom finishes the grocery shopping, and that should get it out. Any suggestions if this fails?
