S*paw* Treatment

Today, Mingus smelled like a living version of his litterbox… ew. 

Unfortunately, we needed to give him a bath.

Fortunately, B had the idea to “yeet” him into a tub full of soapy water and hold the curtains shut. 

Unfortunately, Mingus hasn’t had a REAL bath since he was a kitten. 

Fortunately, we’ve been using waterless shampoo to keep him looking and smelling fresh as a daisy. 

Unfortunately, the litter caked onto the bottom of his paws required something more invasive. 

Fortunately, he let me hold him and gently wet small parts of his body at a time. 

Unfortunately, this didn’t last very long… 

Fortunately, I was able to get him in the tub long enough to give him a quick scrub.

Unfortunately, he escaped once or twice. 

Fortunately, the litter came off of his paws and he’s smelling so fresh and so clean (clean). 

Unfortunately, he had quite the attitude after- though I guess I can’t blame him. 

Finally, we’re all enjoying the rest of our Saturday a little more tired than we were before.
