After Bath - Maya

Maya is a muscle cat. I sometime call him the horse cat since he horse around the house. :)




Giving him bath is like a workout for me. So I usually give him bath the last.




This was my second time giving him bath. I learned to not frighten him with loud noise.
To give cat a bath, you have to make to environment very calm. Cats are scare of sounds more than water. That's why you get a frighten cat trying to escape from your hand and giving you the awful scratch.




He looks like a kitten here. Maya, you are so lying. :)






When I give bathe cat, I try to talk to them softly and have the water running as quiet as possible. I'm going to try to save some water on the side so that I don't have to turn on the water at all. But at this time I was trying to calm him down as much as I can.




Unlike the first time when I tried to bathe him, this time he only cried like 3 times (really loud, I never heard any cat cry like that before). Last time, it was constant meowing throughout the bathing process. I was knock down after giving him a bath. But this time, I did it like a pro. He panic less and he attempted to escape a little bit but then he took it okay.




He let me clean him, and I was enjoying bathing him. :) Even though he wasn't happy, he let me do that to him. He became patient with me.




He was cleaning himself right away.

Maya, really? you had to put the spit-coat on you right away? heh heh, but then other cats did the same thing so "shrug".




He's a pretty cat. :)




Oh, did I mention that he's a polydactyl? In between the first toe and second toe, he has extra one. So the big toe looks like a thumb. :)




Maya and Kami are getting alone great. I just hope that Maya doesn't go after MooMoo so much. He doesn't fight her or anything but he just loves to go after her and that makes her very scare of him.

Well, Maya, please be friend with MooMoo. :) Okay?
