IJMC - Bathing Cats, 201

Oi, I have fallen behind in my daily duties once more. This is almost 
becoming a habit, I know. By now, everyone should be used to the routine. 
Lots of posts for a few days while I catch up and then a day or two of 
normality at which point I disappear again. Time to get back in the 
saddle again and hold on this time! We shall see...                 -dave






How to Bathe a Cat

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 any purchase they can find.


5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "powerwash and
rinse" which I have 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.
