the proper method for giving a cat, or multiple cats, actual baths with soap and water involves locking you, all the cats, and eveything you will need in the bathroom. no one comes out until each cat is clean. no exceptions.

This reminds me of a story…

Once upon a time, there was a little Brick. Actually he was a little prick Brick. Prick Brick had a little sister, let’s call her Prissy Brick. Anyhoo, one day for some reason or another Prissy Brick narc’d on Prick Brick and got Prick Brick grounded for something that probably deserved a good grounding.

Prick Brick probably all of 10 years old or so, true to his name, grabbed the household cat, (let’s call it Prick Brick’s evil Trick) while Prissy Brick was taking a shower, and tossed Prick Brick’s evil Trick into the mix.

Points of interest: the shower…had those semi-transparent, wavy glass doors on tracks.

the cat: a big tom with all his sharpy, clawy, fangy bits intact.

Results: pretty much as you can imagine. The only dry high ground for the kitteh was atop Prissy Brick’s head. To get there, the glass/tub surfaces lacked the necessary coefficient of friction, and porosity for any gription, so the most expedient route to safety, in the kitteh’s mind anyway was up Prissy Brick.

The caterwauling was immense. Cat and Prissy Brick. Each was louder than the other. Prissy Brick came out of the shower looking like a low-paid actress in a budget slasher film. (The cat was soaked, but largely unharmed.)

Contrary to popular belief, Prick Brick was NOT sold to the monkey house and is actually rumored to be on speaking terms with Prissy Brick to this day.

It’s lolcat time…
