Scary Cat's Bath Routine

"All's well that ends well" I suppose. Why was the cat given a bath? ???

We have a MaineCoon cat, so of course long haired, bushy-tailed. He cleans himself at least five time a day. It's rare that we ever need to brush burrs, or small outdoor bits from out in nature, out of his fur. The only time we've bathed him was when he got slightly sprayed by a skunk... we used a commercial 'de-skunking' substance, water from a hose, a brush and a towel.
 
We had a cat that loved to be outside in the yard on a leash and a harness. He could always find something to make him really stink so we had to bath him every now and then. He hated it and you were taking your life in your hands to do it. He used to hate taking meds too so I would put him in a Gym bag and zipper up to his head to be able to force the meds into his mouth.
I got thinking about how well that worked so I would take an old pair of my wife's panty hose and stick him in them to bath him. He still hated it and told me so but he couldn't do much about it. Wasn't perfect but it beat the alternative.
