I bath George in a large tub inside the bath so when the tub comes out he's off, tail down slinking away- so I must make sure he is inside before I even start. Only problem is now I have had to shift the tub out to the garage to store it so when ever I get a bucket out of the pile where the tub is he thinks it's for him so off he goes under the house or round the back under the trees and only comes out with a bit of coaxing,I even try not to look at him and just carry on as normal but he seems to know when its his bath time. He will come in the bathroom when I'm having a bath with no problem at all. Funny things aren't they after 4 years you'd think he'd get used to it but no I can see this is always going to be an issue, but oh he is lovely and fluffly and smells beautiful afterwards and once a month isn't to often either.
