POLL: What's the longest you've ever gone without taking a shower/bath?

For me, it was a few days or so. That was because the power went out at my house and we didn't have any water.

BQ: Why did you go that long without a shower/bath?

    I was in the hospital with broken bones so I could not by doctors orders take one for a month. The nurse's aide gave me sponge bath's which was embarrasing in my private area but it was necessary and she acted like it was quite normal so I was at ease.

    I don't shower or bathe, per se. I'm a cat. I groom myself at least twice a day, I guess. But there was a time back last winter when I got really sick after a dog almost killed me. I was taken to a place where some humans stuck me in a cage and put some tubes into my body. I was REALLY sick. Didn't eat or groom for a really long time, until my human came to visit me. Might have been as long as 5 days before I thought to look after myself. Disgusting, I know ... but I was so sick.

    My human still loved me. That's amazing to me. I must have been a mess but that didn't seem to matter to it.

    Now that I'm all better I make sure I look really handsome ... at least twice a day. I love my human. And it loves me.

    Two or three days. We had an ice storm two years ago. There was no hot water, and I tried once to do the cold shower, but it was awful! So I just waited for the power to come back on and for the hot water heater to heat the water up.

    Like 3 days, cuz we had a really bad winter and the pipes froze so there was no water, as soon as the water was back on I took a really long shower! Lol =)
