How to Bathe a Cat

Dear Cat Owner,


Following are instructions on the best way to bathe your 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: Don't get any part of your body too close to
the edge, as his paws will be reaching out to grab 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 3 or 4 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.


Sincerely,


The DOG
