Thank you all. We miss our senior kids, we're doing fine. Tsadaka that past was the easiest to give baths to, to keep them from trying to get out of the tub we used a Tidy Cat 40 lb litter container that the lids come off and put him in the container and no more trying to get out of tub. Ours like to scratch never bite and we had to wear long sleeves giving them baths. Hubby thought of this one and it worked. We let him sit in it for a short time while he was soaped up and then rinse. We also tried an experiment on him with my blow dryer to dry him off. He was cool he didn't complain about the dryer at all. Dog owners that I know do the dryer thing all the time so hey why not a cat and see what happens. Youngest kids have never had baths, two would flip out I know this for a fact!
