Million Dollar Question

yesterday Mazzy managed to get into something out in the garage... R and I let them go out on the back porch (screened in) or out into the garage as a treat... as of yesterday, the garage is now off limits... as I was saying, Mazzy managed to get into something out there and is now running around looking all dirty... (she is a dirty kitty though)... it's like some sort of oil or grease something or other... and here's my confusion, Mazzy & Murphy have been going out in the garage forever!! Mazzy was going out there before we even had Murph.... and this has never been an issue before... so we tried making a kitty burrito and then pulling out the paw so i could wash it off but that didn't work.. the water hit her paw and she was out... i have been "slashed" across my belly (thankfully not by the incision area!)... she is a dirty kitty though!!! she is all dirty!! her fur is all sticky and matted... and I have no idea what to do!! so, this is the million dollar question... what do we do? do we try to give her a bath? and if so, how?!?! i would need a full body suit of armor, including some sort of goggles... (maybe I could just let her lick a xanax and then we could give her a bath... j/k!!)

If you can go in the guest bath and toss her in the tub. It will be a two person procedure, but if that doesn’t work I would call a groomer. They would be able to help you get her clean.

In case that link doesn't work, the product is called

Pet Scentstations Premium Dry Cat Shampoo.

Might be worth checking it out.

Hmmm, I have never heard of dry cat shampoo! Sounds like it is bathtime though ;)

i was scared to call a groomer for fear i would be sued after dropping mazzy off (if i could even get her into the carrier!)... i told R about the groomer and he said, the first thing i thought was, oh no, boo's hand (when he jumped the fence to catch mazzy!)... poor boo, he now has a permanent reminder of mazzy!!
i didn't know they made waterless shampoo either! but i am going to pick some up in case of other "incidents"...
