Goodie Evening...
Erm, I tried hairdrying Angelo when he was younger. I think just a couple of months. When I turn on the hair dryer (low heat) he freak out and ran off. He was terrified of the sound. After that, I never tried it again. poor fella.
my friend's mum does it to all her persians. and they seem to enjoy it. Aunty will ask them to "golek left", "golek right", "tengah"..etc. Despite their sombong-ness, they actually listen to their mama and enjoy the hair dryer.
Now, I only bathe Angelo once every fortnight. I will need to check the weather. Make sure the sun is good. After I shower him, I towel-dry him as much as I can and put him in his cage (with water) and put him in a shade. Let the afternoon heat dry him up. Angelo is a DSH and it takes about 2hrs max to get him all warm and dry again. Of course I will reward him with some food and let him snooze off in my bed for the entire afternoon.
That harness thing, looks kinda scary ler.. if you want to put your cat in the harness you need to start right from the start. Otherwise, it is difficult to get them get used to it.
Any other good tips beside using the harness? how about keeping them in the toilet (or a small area) and hair dry them?
Just my 2cents worth. Hope it helps.
