Well, I have a friend that gives her 6 cats a bath all the time...at least once a week!
Oh my gosh...My cats would flay the skin right off of me if I did that....lol.
I have given very old cats or sick cats baths but they did okay because they were too weak to fight. Kittens sometimes need flea baths (wild kitties) and that isn't much fun...lol.
My dog loves to take a bath, thank goodness! I would hate to have to fight with her
