Cat bathing...

[02GF74]

Crikey Waffles - do you wear a suit of armour? And if so how do you prevent rust Or is it that you have a wish to add to your scars

I have major teeth and claws when attempting to put moggy in box to take to vet

first time I attempted to put catty 2 into the box, she decided to climb up me resulting in hanging off my lower lip by one foot - took a few painful seconds for me to disengage claw from lip.

how we laughed afterwards. not.

Ah - I see I'm a beginner then. I thought I spoke cat. Perhaps I need your Matronly tone. The one that works so well with MrWC

I remember 1st time we took boy cat to the vets,as she was coaxing him out of the box she asked if he was likely to bite/scratch we said no as he's a real softie of a cat,anyway she gets him onto the table and he legs it straight up onto the windowsill knocking everything onto the floor chaos for a few mins til we got him back settled

Our cat chews its nails. I have no idea where it learned this behaviour from...

Unlike human nails, cats have claws that are layered like an onion. When the outer layer is ready to 'shed' the cat will either scratch at a post etc or chew at the nail to remove it.

tip i was told was, put them in a pillow.

I got a chainmail butchers glove some years ago never knew a claw to go through that!

For my cat, pillow == box

And I'd need at least two of those gloves - more likely 4 as Mrs 26x25 is required too

i remember once having a cat who was taken to the vet, in the car, in one of those cardboard pet carriers that you could get then.

on the way back, she had clawed her way out and spent the rest of the short trip home sitting on my arm, so i had to drive all the way in second gear.

A friend of mine once came home to find that one of his cats had decided to explore the inside of a duvet cover that had been airing over the bannisters, and which it had pulled off. Getting lost inside the duvet cover (hell, I get lost inside mine when I'm trying to change it) it had wandered about on the landing until it, and the duvet cover, fell down the stairs. He found a mewing bundle at the bottom....

Try This

Here is how to clean your toilet and give your cat a bath at the same time!
1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.
2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.
4. The cat will self-agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash and rinse".
6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.
9. Both the toilet and cat will be sparkling clean.
