our little girl cat mysti has not been well. she has the flu or something, well had anyway, she had the runs all night last night, and some today. She is a long-haired cat...needless to say there was quite a mess to clean up. We've only given mysti a bath twice, both when she was a kitten. it took both jason and I to hold her down and wash her. shes a small cat, i can bathe our 10lb tom all by myself... she smells much better now.
