Cat People?

[fairyrune]

I have the I Can Has Cheezburger feed on my f-list. Every time there's a picture of cat being bathed by humans, or even just a wet cat, someone inevitably says something along the lines of, "Oh noes!11!!11 That poor kitty! What horrible horrible people would torture a cat by giving it a bath??"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but bathing a cat is something that most pet owners would avoid unless it was 100% unavoidable, yes? It's not something you do just to see the funny look on the cat's face; you only do it if it's in the kitty's best interest.

Am I right? Are these people who are bitching about pet owners taking good care of their babies a bit off their rockers?

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that these people are calling the pet owners horrible human beings for bathing the cat, when in reality it's probably necessary. Yeah, the cats not happy about it, but he doesn't know why Mommy's making him all wet and scrubbing him.

Would you bathe a cat if you didn't have to?
