normiss 798 #1 November 5, 2007 so the kitty decided to play in the fireplace over the weekend - I fixed it to where that won't happen again....but how the hell do I wash the little shit without her tearing me apart? Should I just take her to a groomer??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #2 November 5, 2007 You do it very carefully. Some cats are more tolerant than others, but it sounds like you already know yours won't like her bath too much! Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DJL 235 #4 November 5, 2007 One rubber trash can full of sudsy water with cork on bottom. Add Cat and pull cork. When water is getting low enough for the cat to get a footing and jump out then refill can with a garden hose.

kbordson 8 #5 November 5, 2007 Pussy's are self cleaning. Do not douche! Now... as far as the kitty, good luck. Mine hated it! Lots of yeowlling and crying. And I even tried to be nice about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BIGUN 1,297 #6 November 5, 2007 Throw body soap in the toilet. Throw cat in toilet, close lid and sit on lid. Flush, wash, rinse, repeat. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just waiting to see if the animal lovers get in an uproar like they did the last time it was posted.I think the automatic agitation is a nice feature, but I'm not sure if I would want to try to hold the cat afterward."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

simplyputsi 0 #14 November 5, 2007 are you serious man??!!! It's a kitten, not a tiger. Kittens will take to water much easier than a full grown cat. So you don't have too much to worry about. Make sure the water is just warm, not hot!!! Cats are already warmer than usual, so if it's too hot, it'll piss em off, maybe even hurt. Don't let him see you fill the tub up. Then bring the cat in and slowly place in the water. Your problem will only come if the little one hates it and wants out. You'll have to find what works best for keeping the claws from digging into you. For reals though, your stronger, so suck it up cupcake!!!

livendive 8 #15 November 5, 2007 If you're trying to clean a dirty pussy, you've got it backwards.

JSBIRD 1 #17 November 5, 2007 Sponge bath. They don't mind if you use a wet cloth, and use the same action as a mama cat giving a kitten a bath. Might take a few cycles, but works well, no cat trauma, no human blood lost. Will make a sick cat feel better too.

drae 0 #20 November 5, 2007 Fill the tub up to the point that the cat can't touch the bottom. Use a very mild baby soap..Good luck!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P.F. 0 #21 November 5, 2007 Put it in a burlap bag. (This is so the water can get to the cat) Tie the bag really tight. (Avoiding escape) Throw the bag as far from the shore as possible. (The use of a dock or boat is useful) Wait 15 minutes. (About the time it takes to drink a beer) Go back to the house and drink another beer or two.http://home.comcast.net/~thefishwrapper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darwin143 0 #22 November 5, 2007 Hold the kitty by the extra skin on the top of its neck. It may seem mean, but since that's where their mothers picked them up as babies, it has a calming effect (at least temporarily). Clip the nails first too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 798 #23 November 6, 2007 didn't even have to do that...she really trusts me (I know, she must be stoopid!) it went pretty well...she was somewhat aprehensive, wasn't too happy about it...but she tolerated it. I didn't want to torture her for very long though so she's not as clean as she needs to be. Damn soot is hard to get off of her. I'll find a groomer....damnit ehh...like a beauty salon for kitties....??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
