Once again I’m posting rather late, but at least I am finally getting around to posting.
I gave Talore another bath last weekend (perhaps if I used shampoo on her she would feel clean for longer), but this time I took pictures. Talore didn’t mind the water as much this time as she did last time (I could let go of her without her instantly lunging for the side), but she certainly didn’t appreciate it.
I was using my old digital camera for the pictures since it’s easier to use 1-handed and it wouldn’t bother me as much if it got wet and died, but that means that the pictures didn’t come out all that well. The other problem with taking pictures was that Talore would realize that I wasn’t paying as much attention to her when I reached for the camera and she’s start trying to get out of the tub.
This was the picture that came out the best (all the problems with it are because of the camera, not sudden motion):
That was probably the third time I tried to take that picture. I didn’t intend to let her latch onto the edge of the tub, but that was the easiest place to catch her one handed while she was trying to get out and it made a decent picture. It’s not obvious how hard she’s pushing to get out, but you can see that her claws are out attempting to grip the side of the tub. One of the earlier tries she managed to get her claws into my jeans (and therefore my leg), which caused me to swiftly put down the camera. Luckily the jeans prevented her claws from sliding so I just got stabbed, not scratched.
This picture didn’t come out nearly so well:
She stopped struggling to the point that I let go of her for a bit while she walked around the tub, but I wasn’t quick enough to get a picture of her just standing in the water. I don’t know if it was the fact that she was jumping straight at the camera that washed it all out or if it’s the camera just being terrible.
