Bubblewrap's blog: "Who is in "Control"?"

I had to wash the cat and came up with a way to do it without getting clawed and wanted to share this new technique.

·  Thoroughly clean the toilet first.

·  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.

   Note: 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 surface 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. (Don’t worry about the sounds your cat make its quite normal.)

·  Have someone to open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.

·  Stand opposite the door from 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.
