Bathing your Persian cat for a show - Step 5: Blowdrying

[Elainiwen]

It must be the sound that the cats hate. It is pretty loud.

Omg love how calm your cat is! My Ragdoll is an absolute nightmare when it comes to blow drying. He hates it more than bathing .

But i guess age has something to do with it . He is still 8 months old .

I think it depends more on the individual cat than it's age. Percy will tolerate being blown dry, Penny actually LOVES it and starts purring - especially if it's cold out, and I tried blow drying Mocha once and she peed all over herself and me LOL Now she air dries LOL

You know what, i think you're right !

But ragdolls are supposed to be very accepting and tolerant. Mine is dumb as hell but oh so adorable! He starts rolling around the floor whenever i'm vacuuming but he absolutely hates the blow dryer !

This video was one of this week's video spotlights on the persian-cats website....yay Percy!

[Ferretocious]

LOL! Everyone saw me in my sock monkey pajama pants and black man socks I AM SO PROUD!!! ha ha ha They could at least give me and Percy credit! Why'd they pick this last step? It's not really teaching anything.

You know what's funny? I watch this and realize how much time I put into grooming Percy and he has been HORRID lately at shows - LOL!!! Mocha finished 2nd in the NW and 8th in the WORLD this last season. Percy I think was 53rd in the NW - LOL!!!! He likes to swat at the judges when they put him back in his cage LOL

LOL. I love his "cattitude". I bet they picked the last in the series b/c his face around 2:30 is over-the-top cute. Of course your jammies are stellar too :) Thanks much for the eye envy tips -- I can't wait to try it on my creampoint himmy rescue.
