On cleaning the cat

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. Never mind the noises coming from the toilet, cats like being clean.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times, providing a "power-wash" and rinse.

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no obstructions between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
