Scout's bath

I gave Scout a successful bath for the first time since we got her. I started out incorrectly, by trying to place her into the sink and filling it with water. Nope, didn't happen. She hated every second of it and tried to crawl INTO my shirt with me. So I placed her on the counter and grabbed the squirt bottle that we usually use to squirt the kitten when she is being naughty (the bottle gets refilled daily). I picked my baby up out of the sink and set her on the counter, then I started misting the air and jumping around and talking REALLY LOUDLY AND EXCITEDLY. "Ha-ha! What great fun this is! My glasses are so misted over that I can't see! Is that you Scout, or a dish towel? What great fun!" And though Scout did not like this initially, she didn't try to get away, which I took as a sign of progress. I even held the bottle down to her level so she could see it and she beaked the nozzle. I squirted her lightly in the mouth and she seemed to actually like that! So, we are at a compromising point. I want to get her used to this before I break out the heavy artillery--a pump-action pressure sprayer.

But first, could you hand me that dish towel? My lenses are still misty.
