I was just making a joke about the name. We tried to give our cat a bath a few times -- she won!
LOL. Funny how nearly every time you hear the words 'cat' and 'bath' in the same sentence, you also hear the word 'try'.
How to bathe your cat
1. Thoroughly clean toilet.
2. Lift both lids and add shampoo.
3. Find and soothe cat as you carry him to bathroom.
4. In one quick move, place cat in toilet, close both lids and stand on top, so cat cannot escape.
5. The cat will self agitate and produce ample suds.
(Ignore noise from inside toilet, the cat is really enjoying this)
6. Flush toilet 3 or 4 times. This provides power rinse, which is quite effective.
7. Have someone open outside door, stand as far from toilet as possible and quickly lift both lids.
8. Clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and outdoors, where he will air dry.
Hey presto - bathed cat with no stress
Yours Sincerely,
The Dog ;-)
You can get waterless cleaners. Spray the cloth and rub the cat . They work pretty well.
We had to bathe the cat (the momma) as she got older (she died at 18) and after the last of the kittens died, because she was unable to clean herself. She made this pitiful mournful sound, but getting her all wet and soapy was hilarious. Cat necks are only about as big as a couple of fingers (at best), and the head is this huge thing. She didn't much care for all the laughter. We'd get all the matted crap out of the fur, really clean her up, then rinse her, dry her with a towel (so she wouldn't mess up the house as she shook out), then let her wander around. She'd shake out, including each of her legs separately, then sit down on the lino and give herself a very thorough cat bath. And she'd fume the rest of the day.
