It's official - Norman my BL CAG boy has had his first voluntary bath ! 
Since he came to me in Dec last year, I have had to put him in the shower tray and give him a good dousing. However, all of a sudden on Saturday when he had gone quiet ( usually a precursor to getting up to no good!), there he was taking a bath. Here's a photo to prove it!

Vicky - Brilliant! Love it!!!
Everyone. Thanks for all your kind words. I am so VERY proud of Norman, he is a little star!!
With regards to the shower, Norman still gets a dousing as it gets him really wet through. Even with that he is alot better though. Maya be it's 'coz I have always taken him into the bathroom when I shower. To begin with he would sit on the bathroom scales in the far corner and sulk, but now he will come up to the shower door, tap it and laugh - little bugger! |
