Johnny hates all of the above including baby wipes. You would think that I am buying baby wipes with acid on them. Especially when I clean his nails/toes with them. He acts like he is dying

Bluebelle is strange (with a lot of stuff but especially this). She's really well behaved during her bath, when you clean her eyes and ears and clip her nails. She HATES having her nails cleaned with a baby wipe and her little botty cleaned with one. I think she just does not like the feel of baby wipes against her skin, I tried warming them to see if that helped but it didnt. I put coconut oil (yes I took you guys advise and bought some) on her little butt and then wiped it and she didn't complain lol. I think she may just be a sensitive little soul and baby wipes just don't feel good to her :) I will try the coconut oil on her little toes also and maybe she won't act like we're killing her with each wipe.

Harry doesn't like any of it but especially the bath. Buffy loathes the bath and having her nails messed with. oddly when I clean her ears she just lays there looking pathetic. It helps when I wrap her up in her blanky. She can't scratch me and then I cuddle her up when we're done.

Dinka does not like his ears cleaned. He wrinkles up his skin and squeaks pathetically. And he can't stand the hiney cleaning.

Arias HATES HATES HATES when I touch his tail. For like the 1st year that we had him, he got HUMONGOUS blackheads on his tail (even after he was fixed). I'm talking, these suckers would be GINORMOUS on a human, much less a little 9 lb kitty! So I of course had to pick them to get them out before they got infected. Now, if I even touch his tail to examine it to make sure there aren't any blackheads brewing, he bites me! Thankfully, the "stud tail" has gone away (found that apple cider vinegar rubbed on his tail after his bath helped dry them up!)

Otherwise, he's OK with the whole grooming process!

They HATE the bath but Blue LOVES the ear cleaning. I always tease him that he's getting a brain massage. He totally relaxes and his third eyelids come out. Funny boy

Snuffie loves her bath time,,she walks around in the tub thru my hands like she is in a car wash to collect all her "scrubbies" so she can get clean. Afterwards I wrap her up in a towel (she doesn't like that either but) and clean her ears. She melts..she purrs so loudly when I clean her ears and leans into which ever ear Im cleaning,,lol Its funny. BUT she absolutley hates when I clean her nails and clip them. I use baby wipes to clean the gunk off of them and if the wipe touches any part of skin she goes wack-o. So I'm guessing its because after a few seconds they get cold. If all I have to fuss over is nails then I think Im doing pretty good because worse case scenerio I do them when she is asleep! lol

Sure, Lyra hates the bath, but that is nothing compared to how much she hates having her feet, toes and butt cleaned.
