How To Give A Cat A Bath:
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water and have both lids lifted.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape). CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for anything they can find. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a “power wash and rinse” which I found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside where he will dry himself.
Dear Sir or Madam Carriage-hill:
Do you have any idea how hard it is to laugh yourself silly, when you have the ‘flu?
Husband (recovering) Me (in the throes) are sick with laughter :-)
(Jimmy has discovered that the bathtub spigot has water coming out of it. He likes the water. Bathing may not be a problem, with this guy.)
If only we could get him to stop jumping up on the ‘verboten’ kitchen counters.............I guess the next time we have Tuna Salad for dinner, we will have to lock the guys up.......
