How to give a cat a bath

[jack]

For some unknown reason, my wife seems to have a problem with the way I wash our cat. But I've found this to be a very efficient method. What do you think?

1. Scrub the toilet several times and flush it well.

2. Fill toilet with warm water. Add pet shampoo.

3. "Place" cat inside toilet. Close lid. Sit on lid. The cat's efforts to get out of the toilet is sufficient to generate enough water movement to clean itself like a washing machine.

4. Flush toilet at least four times to rinse the cat.

5. RUN LIKE HELL!! Be sure to slam the door behind you. Allow the cat enough time to sulk and dry.

6. Reward yourself for a job well done by having a beer (preferably a 6-pack of Coors light) during the sulk / dry time.

7. Keep cat out of your bedroom at night for the next several days until whatever devious plot to kill you that he/she has developed has had time to leave his/her brain.

Effective and wont get you in as much trouble as duct taping it to the car roof and taking a trip through the car wash!

Great idea! IF the 'throne' has a big a$$ drain, and a proportionally sized plunger handy.....

Our cat learned learned about the best way to dry off after that bath. The Mrs. was putting a load into the clothes dryer, turned it on, and heard a strange "thump-thump" coming from within. She opened the door, and out stepped the cat, none the worse for the experience. :lol:

We have had a bunch of cat and kittens hanging around from the neighbors lately and they often get a good shot of water from the hose when we are watering plants in the backyard. They actually seem to be enjoying it now that the summer heat is starting. ...but they still run like heck to get away.

I do know that the wrong way is to get in the tub with a bathing suit on and bring the cat with you.
A really useful trick is get 4 bricks and place a window screen with metal screen material on them in a bathtub, cover slightly with water and then toss the cat on the screen works well. Their claws get stuck in the mesh instead of the flesh.
