Apparently, although I'd never heard this before, giving cats baths is part of some unknown underground lesbian ethos. Like a fish symbol on the door. A secret handshake. When Elizabeth first mentioned it, when I was aghast at the idea of bathing Snack, she said that that's something that lesbian women discussed extensively, and not as some euphemism for anatomical hygiene. And so, finally, I tried it. And it's easy. So much easier than washing a dog. A hand on the scruff. The kitchen sink spray nozzle and wallah, clean kitty. It also helped enormously to loosen up Snack's otherwise shedding fur. I think I'll do it weekly. 1:52:31 PM
