April is an 18 1/2 year old long-haired white cat (farm-born mutt). She's very sweet and patient (albeit loud) at bath time. April doesn't clean herself very well anymore. She has arthritis and diabetes. But she likes the warm water and she LOVES being brushed and blow-dried. She gets a bath once or twice a month. (Before she started insulin three years ago, she was actually much less able to care for herself and very sick and skinny. She has a good weight on her now.)
