How To Clean Your cat - The Fun Way

Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
Pick up 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.
The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".
Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.
Sincerely,
The Dog

Years ago, my wife convinced me it was time to give the cat a bath. Put on a heavy work jacket, heavy rubber gloves, but neglected to put on a football helmet. Holding the kitty in the stationary tub, as my wife turns on the water. Cat shreds gloves, goes up my arm, across my head, and into the joists. Took two hours to get the cat down, and two weeks to heal.
 
This is the 1st inside we have ever had. A lot of people say DONT bath them, they do it themselves? As far as I can tell it don't stink or anything, I have 2 dollar flea collar on it, had it vet checked when we go it (about 8 months ago) It seems happy. I just had a idea to spruce it up for the holidays? Maybe be best not to? Regards Ernie

P.S., Me & the Wife AINT into pain
 
If she's a rescue she's been in the rain. Go slow and keep the water low not to spook her. Talk nice to her in a calm voice.

Cats are great on my mini hobby farm. They kill everything but people. The eat it too.

I was deployed to Iraq with a guy. He was talking on the phone with his wife when she mentioned that the kids were in trouble. They had gone to the store without asking permission. Jon asked if he needed to talk to them. She said no, their punishment was to be locked in the bathroom with orders to give the cat a bath.
 
On a more serious note

Howdy,
I have a little dog. In between baths I will often sprinkle him with a little
baby powder and give him a soft brushing.
If you can brush the cat it might be an option.
Good luck
Mike

Now that's funny right there
 
One of my showers has a sliding door, so...... Twice now I have grabbed my cat and jumped in the shower with him. I lathered him up the best I could and used the hose feature to rinse him. This is a rescue as well... One who spent a little too much time on the streets. He's a handful....

Just make sure the shampoo is cat safe, some dog shampoos have ingredients cats shouldn't be exposed to.

Just use soap and water, it's a lot of fun, also take pictures.

Years ago, I managed pet stores while I was in college. My ex-boss's estranged wife came in (they had moved to Las Vegas, where she bought a baby lion because he hated cats). I was holding the lion when a group of teen-age girls came in and rushed up to me. Like most cats, when startled, the lion cub tried to climb the highest thing around: namely, my head. Had interesting scars up my chest for six months or so. Good story for the girls except I was too honest and always told the truth.
 
Fill your tub with nice warm water, bubble bath for cats works well. Pick up the little one and cuddle and pet while you face it away from the tub. When you get close slowly and I mean slowly turn and throw into the tub. Then run there should be enough soap and water to get it clean enough and you won't need stiches. Actually our Persian doesn't mind getting a bath but like stated above we take her to get groomed. Let them worry about the claws.
