How to Wash a Cat

How to give a cat a bath and instructions on how to wash your toilet

1. Put both lids up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the loud noises, the cat is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and "rinse".

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand well back,behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out, streak through the room, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean.

Yours sincerely,

The Dog

I thought you weren't a dog fan...

I'm not. Back in 2007, I had just bought a mule at Jake Clark's Mule Days. He was tall and good-looking, but green as a gourd. There were about ten cows in the pasture north of the corrals that I decided to get in to take to the sale barn. I mistakenly rode the mule thinking it wouldn't be all that hard to get the cows in with him. The mule and I got them fairly close to the corral gate, but they were suspicious, and I didn't know if I had a good enough "cowhorse" to complete the task.

When all looked to be lost, wonder of wonders, here came a cat. The cows were intrigued by this funny feline and crowded around out of curiousity. The cat was scared and headed back to the barn with the cows in hot pursuit. They all ran into the corral, and I dismounted from Willy the wonder mule (I now call him Tanactin :wink: ), shut the gate, and patted his neck. From this time on, he has thought he's a pretty good "cowhorse," but the credit all goes to the efforts of the "cowcat."
