Gilbert and I are doing the bonding thing. He's always hated having his anal sac and penis cleaned. For whatever reason, it's always been really really difficult for him. We've watched the videos, wrapped him in towels, held him against me, very gently inverted him, etc. I adopted him and am wondering if the old owner didn't clean or didn't clean well. Anyway, he hates it. Today, we used some q-tips and then I got a brilliant idea. I'll just wash his sack very gently. He's not that dirty, he just needs a little warm water.
So, I washed his sac very gently in perfectly warm water. It was easy, it was fast... he didn't like it.
This picture is him directly after the event. I can't stop laughing, I'm the worst pet parent ever.
"Just kill me now hooo-man, don't torture me any more!"
This only happened for a moment. He's since recovered and is sitting on my lap purring.
