these are funny 
LOL reminds me of a time a vet ordered a bath for our cat, she wasnt one you wanted to mess with at the best 0f times. I put on my welding gloves (horse hide to the elbow) and held her while my mom scrubed her down. all of us survived with out a scratch.

That was a riot. Been there and done that more times than I care to remember.
When I read that I thought it said âwedding gloves!â Thought Iâd share that with you LOL.

Folks,
Cats are very clean critters most of the time. In my 61 years I have NEVER bathed a cat and donât plan on doing so in the future. I plan to live as long as I can. Putting a clawed, fanged critter that hates water in water on purpose must have a way to shorten your life span by a couple years. Unless you wear wedding gloves that is.

I could NOT agree MORE with your very wise statement on bathing cats! And, of course, your mentioning the "wearing of WEDDing gloves, to do so!
However, I think it only fair to the âsingle setâ to mention that; âCatâs CAN BE bathed, if one wears âDivorce Shoesâ while doing so, since it would be obvious âWedding Glovesâ would not be on hand!â
At least I spelled Welding right, I only got Wedded once, I havenât had much practice spelling it. :lol:
For those of you still contemplating giving a cat a bath I did find the following suggestions on the net. I have not tried them.
How to bathe a 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 anything they can find. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from your toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a âpower wash and rinseâ which I 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
LOL. I have only known one cat in my life that liked water. Mostly cats and water are like water and electricity - not a good combination. :lol:
Come to think of it, I look something like those cats after taking a spill when my wading shoes failed me. :lol:
You have never seen Tigers submerged up to their head in a pool of water on a hot summer day?
How about this for a water cat??
