I have the same problem with Talon. She hates showers and baths. I bought a Misty Mate also, I put her in her cage and mist her with it until she's very wet. She hates it, and sometimes we play the chase game, but I figure, you make your kids take a bath when they don't want to for their own good, so I do to the same to Talon. After a while she gives up and sits there sulking. Afterwards I put a bowl of water in the bottom of her cage and she'll then give herself a bath. ( I guess I must do it wrong! )
