Cat Baths
On 11/28/2014 in Question
Why does our cat not mind getting a bath in the bathtub, but really hates getting a bath in the sink?
———- from Becky Stikeleather of Black Mountain, NC
Your cat resents your second class treatment of her. She is keenly aware that the sink is for dishes and the bathtub is for bathing. Since you don’t mention why you feel compelled to bath your cat in the sink, I can only surmise that it has to do with instinctual dominance behavior on your part. Much as the alpha ape beats his chest and makes threatening gestures when anyone approaches one of his harem females, so do you force your cat in among the plates, spoons and cereal bowls, in order to show her who’s boss. Just because she doesn’t fight back it doesn’t mean she likes it. Remember the old cat saying ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold.’
