Cat Screams Bloody Murder

Cheetah decides he is going to go nuts when I give him a bath. He has had baths before and never acted like this. He has his claws. I would never consider declawing a cat. I got alot of comments saying I shouldnt have given him a bath.... but im betting alot of the people saying that also have their cats declawed. Also I use shampoo specifically made for cats. Its not like im using regular shampoo. For those of you that think im mean to my cat ..... thats fine thats your opinion. I have spent over $1000 dollars on this cat not including food, litter etc... I really dont care about your opinion of me giving my cat a bath.
