Subject: how to bathe a cat

1. Thoroughly clean toilet.
2. Lift both lids and add shampoo.
3. Find and soothe cat as you carry him to bathroom.
4. In one swift move, place cat in toilet, close both and stand on top so cat cannot escape.
5. The cat will self agitate and produce ample suds. (ignore ruckus from inside toilet, cat is enjoying this)
6. Flush toilet 3 or 4 times. This provides power rinse, which is quite effective.
7. Have someone open outside door, stand as far from toilet as possible and quickly lift both lids.
8. Clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and outdoors, where he will air dry.

Sincerely,

The Dog

Careful there, steyrDOG, there's a contingency on this board that will tolerate no anti-feline sentiment whatsoever.

A 'So many cats, so few recipes'-attitude will get you tagged, subito!

Thanks alot hes Blue now.  [:D]  [sniper]

I cannot be responsible for those who follow the advice of my dog.

We shaved the pussy(cat) yesterday.


Furry fleabag is a damned longhair hymlaian and now that it's already hitting 100 degrees here we're giving kitty a nice crewcut, leave the head/legs/tail but everything else gets chopped nearly skin tight.   Animal looks funny as sin now!

Ofcourse the other cats came over to watch so they could achieve some amusement at the expensive of "tubby the wondercat", not wanting to let the other two cats go without having some fun of their own we swooped up the remaining felines and gave them a creative tail chop.  One cat now has a very nice "poof ball" at the end of their tail and they look like some sort of wierd Dr. Zuess creation.   The other cat has it's tail trimmed as well but the results didn't turn out so well, looks more like a rat tail now than anything else even though it does have a furry puff at the tip.

Uglygun, How does the hymlaian look in a g-string bikini. That is why you shave a p****, not? At least us less knowledgeable SD people only thought that there was only one reason.

I'll give it a try

So maybe it's a good thing I didn't become a vet.

A Cat Owner's Story

Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable because no matter how legitimate
my illness, I always sense my boss thinks I am lying.

On one occasion, I had a valid reason but lied anyway because the truth was too
humiliating to reveal.  I simply mentioned that I had sustained a head injury
and I hoped I would feel up to coming in the next day.  By then, I could think
up a doozy to explain the bandage on my crown.

In this case, the truth hurt.  I mean it really hurt in the place men feel the
most pain.  The accident occurred mainly because I conceded to my wife's wishes
to adopt a cute little kitty.  As the daily routine prescribes, I was taking my
shower after breakfast when I heard my wife, Debcall out to me from the kitchen.

"Ed!"  she hearkened "The garbage disposal is dead.  Come reset it."

"You know where the button is."  I protested through the shower (pitter-patter).
"Reset it yourself!"

"I'm scared!"  She pleaded.  "What if it starts going and sucks me in?"  Pause.
"C'mon, it'll only take a second."

No logical assurance about how a disposal can't start itself will calm the fears
of a person who suffers from "Big-ol-scary-machineaphobia," a condition brought
on by watching too many Stephen King movies.  So out I came, dripping wet and
buck naked, hoping to make a statement about how her cowardly behavior was not
without consequence but it was I who would suffer.

I crouched down and stuck my head under the sink to find the button.  It is the
last action I remember performing.  It struck without warning, without respect
to my circumstances.  Nay, it wasn't a hexed disposal, drawing me into its
gnashing metal teeth.  it was our new kitty, clawing playfully at the dangling
objects she spied between my legs.

She ("Buttons" AKA "the Grater) had been poised around the corner and stalked me
as I took the bait under the sink.  At precisely the second I was most
vulnerable, she leapt at the toys I unwittingly offered and snagged them with
her needle-like claws.  Now when men feel pain or even sense danger anywhere
close to their masculine region, they lose all rational thought tocontrol
orderly bodily movements.  Instinctively, their nerves compel the body to
contort inwardly, while rising upwardly at a violent rate of speed.

Not even a well trained monk could calmly stand with his groin supporting the
full weight of a kitten and rectify the situation in a step-by-step procedure.
Wild animals are sometimes faced with a "fight or flight" syndrome; men, in this
predicament, choose only the "flight" option.

Fleeing straight up, I knew at that moment how a cat feels when it is alarmed.
It was a dismal irony.  But, whereas cats seek great heights to escape, I never
made it that far.  The sink and cabinet bluntly impeded my ascent; the impact
knocked me out cold.

When I awoke, my wife and the paramedics stood over me.  Having been fully
briefed by my wife, the paramedics snorted as they tried to conduct their work
while suppressing their hysterical laughter.  My wife told me I should be
flattered.

At the office, colleagues tried to coax an explanation out of me.  I kept
silent, claiming it was too painful to talk.  "What's the matter, cat got your
tongue?"

If they had only known......

Steyr and Ron's Toys: Thanks for getting my day off to a great start with the kind of entertainment one usually has to pay for! ROTFLMAO; gawd, those are funny! [}:)]

Great work Ron, I loved it! It's refreshing to hear a cat story without the work "gun", in it.

And Adam said.....
Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day.  Now I do not see
you anymore.  I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to
remember how much you love me."

And God said, "Notta problem!  I will create a companion for you that will be a
reflection of my love for you.  Regardless of how selfish and childish and
unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will
love you as I do, in spite of yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.  And it was a good
animal.  And God was pleased.  And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam
and he wagged his tail.

And Adam said, "But Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom
and all the good names are taken and I cannot think of a name for this new
animal."

And God said, "Notta problem!  Because I have created this new animal to be a
reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and
you will call him DOG."

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him.  And Adam was
comforted.  And God was pleased.  And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and
said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride.  He struts and preens like a
peacock and he believes he is worthy of adoration.  Dog has indeed taught him
that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility."

And the Lord said, "Notta problem!  I will create for him a companion who will
see him as he is, and will remind him of his limitations."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam.  And Cat would not obey Adam.
And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme
being.  And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased...  And Dog was happy and wagged his tail...  And Adam was
greatly improved...  And Cat did not care one way or the other.

May you remember your cat as the unique creature and companion it was,

For the day crew.
