MY nine month old kitten went into heat over the weekend. Yes, I tried to spay her before it happened but I could not get an appointment until mid December and had to go back to my old vet who is an hour away to get a sooner apointment. She is scheduled for the 6th of November now and even though I told them I was afraid she would go into heat before then that was the best they could do. It is hard around here because they won't spay before 8 months of age and then they have such a long wait list. In addition they won't even schedule until the animal is 8 months and so many end up experiencing their first heat before the operation comes around. It is horrid! BUT back to the issue at hand.
She is finished with her heat now and I thought I would give her a bath so I wouldn't feel sqeemish about her going on the beds. She still has her claws and as I was trying to bath her she was frantincly using them to get away. I had her by the scruff and I managed to get her wet (no soap) before she broke my hold laid my hand open with her claws ans ran dripping water through the house. I caught her and she let me dry her off but she is still not really clean. My question is this: are there waterproof work gloves thick enough to protect my hands but also flexible enough to handle my skiddish kitty? Your answers are appreciated. -RM
