BATH TIME FOR MOMMY!

So, I decided that in the midst of all the heat that we felt yesterday, I would give Mojo a bath. Not only because of the heat, but also because when I start to see separation in her hair, it means she is pretty dirty. As with any other bath time, she of course gave me HELL. I swear, while walking her to the bathroom, she began to look around like, "why is she taking me to the bathroom?" Once she got in there and saw the bath filled with water, she let out the infamous, "MEOOOWW," which translates to "OH HELL NO!"


This is the part where Mojo turns into "Black Mamba" her alter ego. Oh yes, she has one. Every cat does. It's where she leaves the nice cat at the door and turns into "Psycho Killer." I named her after the Kill Bill character because she strikes at no notice once she enters the tub!

I placed her inside the tub filled with lukewarm water and once she felt it, she remained pretty calm at first. She allowed me to soak her and stood there mildly enjoying it. Once I got to the part where I actually began to start washing her, she relaxed a bit more and took it in! I used Johnson's Baby Shampoo on her for 3 reasons:

1. If soap gets in her eyes, it won't burn her;
2. It smells SO good and since my baby bros all all grown now, I miss the smell so who better to use it on than Mommy?;
3. Mojo is MY baby! ENOUGH SAID!
Oh and let's not forget, it leaves her fur feeling really soft and silky.


After scrubbing her for about 5-10 mins, I rinsed her. This is where she gets crazy again because thanks in no part to E (who came in to taunt her), after saying what he felt he needed to, he left the freakin' bathroom door opened which allowed Mojo to see FREEDOM! She tried to jump out, I caught her, she wet my shirt and shorts entirely, and dripped all over the bathroom tile. Ughh! I decided to do the smart thing (hence the FAST thing) and rinse her out directly under the faucet. BAD MISTAKE! She threw me a "look." Ooh, if looks could have killed!
ENTER----BLACK MAMBA!


Once rinsed down, I have to do the "ring out." This is the part where I ring out her front paws, her back paws, her tail, her body, and again her back paws. This procedure is tiring. She has SO much hair and is a BIG cat! Plus, she is wailing, "Meooww," that's inner voice talk for, "Get me the hell outta' here!"

I wrap her in my Rainbow Brite towel (her towel was actually dirty) and soak the last of the water up. She of course, YET AGAIN, is fighting me all the way!

I walked around with her for a bit. My little brat wrapped up in a towel like a little baby, my baby; my PAIN IN THE ASS baby! Then, FREEDOM, I let her go!
She walked around leaving her "wet" imprint everywhere she either walked or sat. It looked like a shower "crime scene" with her wet footprints left throughout the apt. She air-drys for about 20 mins, I brush her out (forward/backward) and man is she shedding! Then she is done!


I continued to do my other things (i.e. finish cooking dinner). She saw that she was nicely washed, felt great, smelled good, and decided to bug me with the, "I want wet food cry."

I figured, since E and I were eating Chicken Enchiladas, Spanish Rice, and Fresh Beans for dinner, that Mojo would get some Fancy Feast Turkey Giblets in Gravy. She ate. We ate. I settled in for some AMW! E settled in with his PS3 and some Modern Warfere, and Mommy settled in on the bed, on her sheet, and fell off into a dreamy bliss of sleep (no "Black Mamba" here.


The End!
