Another Way to Bathe the Cat
-
Thoroughly clean the toilet.
-
Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids
lifted.
-
Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
-
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.
-
Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power wash and rinse'
which I have found to be quite effective.
-
Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people
between the toilet and the outside door.
-
Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
-
The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he
will dry himself.
Sincerely,
The DOG
