I actually do wash my cat everyday because of my allergies to cats. I just fed her baby food every time she would get wet, and now she doesn’t mind it.

If you really do want to train your cat to be OK in the water, remember to give them lots of treats and the scruff of the neck is your best friend.

Hey Mitch, Cats learn to clean themselves after a while with their tounge.

Yeah, there’s almost nothing more pathetic than a wet cat (or behaves more pathetic).

a better way to wash a cat is to put it in the toilet, put the lid down, then flush. repeat 3 times, then lift the lid.

If you wash a cat every day you will cause not only dry skin which could lead to far worse problems, but undoubtedly you will also cause irrepairable mental damage to the poor beast. :P

Oh and nice pic mitch…
…

Seriously, Don’t try it, It might be funny, but I think a kid is going to try it with a kitten and flush it down the toilet…not to mention. its cruel to the cats…

are you serious? this won’t hurt the cat or get him/her stuck in the pipe. My cat is a smaller adult female. I have to wash her with leather gloves and carhartt jacket pants for me to make it through alive. . .

i don’t want her to get sutck or break her leg or get scarred for life in the toilet though.

Actually washing a cat every day robs its skin and fur of vital moisture that can cause serious skin problems :(

I’m allergic to cats but I’ve found that if I give my cat a shower once a week I’m ok. My cat is a 1 year old Tonkinese. I know it sounds weird but I’ve been showering with her since she was a kitten so she’s used to the water. Most people think I’m pretty brave when I tell them about it. I’ve never had a cat before so I don’t know what they’re supposed to act like. I just treat it like a dog and give her treats whenever she’s good.

Off topic but Tonkinese cats are pretty cool. She also likes to play fetch.

Not that I’m condoning it but… you could put a colander in the toilet first to stop the cat from ‘being flushed’.

Although I think that cats shouldn’t be washed unless it absolutely necessary.

all I can say is

ROFLMMFAO and can’t quit

I adore cats, and I dont wash them every day! They are indoor cats, they wash themselves, and nobody smells bad…at least I think so :D

pic #2 and #3 – I have a cat like that, she gave birth to Turkish Van, and he is the one who takes bath every day – by himself!

I think it’s not good to wash cat daily, they lick themselfs, and definatley we dont stink!

My dogs look like that after a bath.

Are you insane people??? cats do not need washing you freaks! Infact you are torturing them by doing so!

I think you people are sick bastards!! You should try washing your brains. It’s not natural to wash cats and especialy not in the toilet FREAKS!

Ok IF you are serious about bathing your cat all the time then you are a sicko and just plain stupid, but for all the people who are taking the toilet thing seriously please learn that IT IS A JOKE! It is meant to be funny!!! That is why I am still LMAO! :)

A cat doesn’t need to be washed, ever see it lick it self, of course you have, all the time! Well “news flash” that’s your cat washing it self!!! They are very clean animals!
Nice to the ones suggesting wash in the toilet, now 1000 ppl will try that and probably kill it! Cruel, would be just like washing your head in the toilet, close the lid and flush 3 times on ur face!

Maybe this calls for a design in some sort od filter like plug to place at the base of the toilet, so water can pass through, and cats can’t?

We have a lot of fleas in our area due to wandering neighbor dogs, and although we try and flea comb them, the only effective way to stop them without poisons seems to be to wash them weekly. Actually, it’s more like a 15 min soak in soapy water.

What I did is I took a five gallon plastic office water cooler bottle and cut the flat side off it, cut radial slots around the perimeter at the other end (a 90 degree grinder with cutting disks or a hand saw works well). Next make a ring of mild shampoo around the cat’s face and work it into his fur. You can put it in an old mustard squeeze bottle for this. Then put some mild shampoo and the cat in an empty five gallon paint bucket, and slid this contraption down inside (it fits just perfect). I put those big black metal paper clamps to hold the handle upright right over the snout of the office water bottle so the cat can’t push his way out.

Put the whole rig, with the cat inside, in the bath tub and run some luke warm water into the contraption until the only thing the cat has above water is his face and nose inside the snout. Keep your fingers away from the top of the snout or you’ll get slashed!

Soak the cat the required time, then slowly tip the whole thing on it’s side and it will drain (the reason for the slits). Put it upright and fill it again with clean luke warm water to rinse. Drain again and open. My cats have never been violent after this. You can just let them out and usually shampoo, comb, and dry them at this point because once they are soaked this is no further point in attacking.

This method made it no big deal to wash 3-5 cats in little more than an hour once a week and kept the fleas down to almost nothing.

You are all completely insane! Cats DO NOT NEED TO BE WASHED!! You are being cruel to your pet for completely selfish reasons. If you are allergic to cats – DON’T KEEP ONE AS A PET!!!!

Omg You People Are Mad !

Do Not Wash Cats Think Of How They Feel Cats Are Scard Of Water Why The Fuc Would You Put A Poor Cat Into A Toilet Or A Bloody Bath !

Fucking Loosers

Believe me, I wouldn’t own a cat if I didn’t marry a person that owned one.

My (wife’s) cat rolls around in the tub after we shower all the time.

And yes, you can give cats baths. Flea baths especially.

I have known and loved cats through much of my life, but I can still laugh a this, knowing what is the joke and what isn’t. If there is really someone who is smart enough to read, but dumb enoungh not do under stand, don’t try the toilet cat washing method, because it tends to clog the toilet lines ;)

Regarding washing cats, they may clean themselves, but they don’t get rid of fleas by licking themselves. I recomend putting duct tape around their paws. Then you can wash them quickly, and neither of you will get scarred for life.

People, people! Listen to what you are saying. Washing a cat in a toilet? What other germs are there? What happens to the water when you flush? It is sucked via a vortex of pressure. If you have never been caught in a rip at a beach, i guess you just wouldn/t understand. Water in the ears of your feline can cause all sorts of complications. Have some common sense!
Cats have been around longer than humans. Almost 15 million years longer. They’ve never needed detergents before. Why now? We need them for our vanity and the fact that we as a species are lazy. Get a grip. Once a week would be ok. Not every day as was suggested by some. And yes, absolutely correct. Detergents destroy the essential skin oils required by the feline to defend against allergies and pests. Sure, if they have fleas; by all means give them a scrub. But every day suggests obsessive compulsive traits. Be educated before you have any good intentions acted upon. Own you cat smarter.

My Grandad was feeling real good one day(due to some drinking he had been doing earlier) and decided to use the vaccum cleaner on the cat. It was a very bloody mess to say the least. His arms were cut to pieces.

Of course they don’t need to be washed. I just did when she had too much fleas and kept her head out of the lukewarm water just long enough to kill the parasites.

I really laughed at the picture. My cat is just like the grey one.

People , don’t freak out. Are you vegetarians ? And bathing a cat freaks you out. How about raising cows, pigs and chicks in horrible conditions, killing them and eating the terror infested flesh. I am now a vegetarian.

cool off

You all are bastards and you’re all going to hell! As a matter of fact, why don’t you just go ahead and jump off a cliff you losers!

Cats DO need to be washed occasionally. Think about it, people. If the only cleaning you did to yourself was to lick yourself clean (and of course remember, you cannot ever brush your teeth, as most people dont brush their cat’s teeth), do you really think that licking yourself with a dirty mouth is really enough cleaning? Get real.

Good shot! Only change – made sure you have a good dump first – DO NOT FLUSH – now add the cat!

I hate cats.

After losing Buttercup on a “rinse”, I now tie a piece of rope to my cats tail so I can pull them back out if necessary.

You shouldn’t wash cats… if you do, than your just a stupid moron.

I guess some times you may have to wash a cat, bit that’s in very rare occasions. If you really believe you have to wash it frequently,that should be something like once per 10 days…
And of course not in the toilet!!!
Get serious!!!

Well, that’s hilarious. These animals are so funny.

Well, that’s hilarious. These animals are so funny.

Come on, get serious!…
Cats don’t need washing!!!
They do wash themselves all the time.
They are far more clean than many of people!
Really!!!

I needed a good laugh today and that was great. Very creative and efficient too.

I think cats should be washed once a month or as needed. washing them daily is not only bad for their skin but very traumatizing.

Obviously this is a matter of opinion. I hardly think occasionally washing a cat will hurt it – it’s not like they melt, or are allergic to water or anything. We wash our cats once every few months – it helps not only keep the air in our house less dander-filled, and helps any visitors who might be allergic not have problems.

I do agree, however, that washing your cat everyday is not only time-entensive, but unnecessary.

But people, you’ve got to get a grip, and realize when people are joking.

Great idea……..in a frat house full of meth-addicts.

IMO you’d pretty much have to be borderline sadistic, clinically retarded or just f—king stupid to even suggest this as a way to keep a cat clean.

Cats are gifted with the natural ability to clean themselves (the rough surface of their tongue combined with their orderless saliva has been working for thousands of years) and while the occassional bath is good, cats are NOT humans – want to permanently damage your cat’s skin and possibly nerves? Then by all means follow Mitch’s advice – don’t take my word for it; go to any vet/pet health Website and post the question.

BTW with a picture like that, Mitch really shouldn’t be calling anyone queer either. -M

Hello…Does anyone not realize that this is just a joke? I have gotten in in email before. Besides, cats clean themselves. Why would someone take this seriously? It would only traumatize the cat.

ow, looks like a lot of people enjoy seeing pictures of wet pussies.

That’s odd!

I’m so sorry to hear of RP/s cat Buttercup\s fatality during her rinse cycle. We tried the rope thing too, but we lost our kitty! If only we/d tied the rope around her TAIL… she might still be alive.

btw has anyone checked into using a bidet, not the commode? I heard that in France you can get yourself a cat bidet. Who knows about this? Anyone?

Thanks for the hilarious pictures. It just amazes me that people are stupid enough to think the toilet washing is serious, as for actually washing the cat we do it about once a month and the cat doesn’t mind.

No me gustan los gatos. El chiste esta jocosisimo, pero jamas le haria una cosa asi. Ademas, no lo tomen en serio esto es un chiste!

Cats and dogs do need an occasional bathing but come on people this was a joke about the toilet-washing lol Did someone miss their nap nap? lol Go find your thumb and sweet dreams lol

The cat washing is an old joke. It is usually signed by “The Dog”. It’s funny because it is the DOG making the recipe for washing the cat because it knows it will annoy the cat. I thought I might explain it because so many of you missed the “joke” part. Don’t try it. Only the dog finds it funny.

I LOVE CATS. THE BEST ANIMALS IN THE WORLD. MUAH

rofl cats wash THEMSELVES daily, the only time we’ve had to wash our put put is when he goes to the vet, because he religiously poops in the carrier and then (being turkish van lookalike) ends up with it all matted around his bum and big fluffy tail, I wash him in the shower, I have the scars to prove it.

I’ve just thought of another use for the microwave…

throw in a disclaimer.. naive, dumb ppl like me actually believed you. the only thing, i dont have a cat yet :)

Too funny!

The next funniest thing is all the comments where people think it’s serious.

As for those who seem to think that cats should never be washed under any circumstances, get a grip.

We washed our cat after he got into the cupboard where a previous tenant had left rat poison. Letting him lick himself clean was not an option.

And then there was the time when he fell in my bath… if only I’d thought to take photos. He still sits on the edge when I take baths, so I guess he isn’t scarred for life. Just a bit more careful.

No time to properly bathe Fluffy,then clean up his fleas! Lakes,ponds,and sloughs all host any of various small active aquatic crustaceans of the order Cladocera. These “Waterfleas” or “daphnia”, benefit their hosts. Long known as one of Mothernatures “disenfectants”, they’ll eat fleas and their larva. Truely magnificent creatures…

Are you guys CRAZY????

Dont wash a cat man,why the hell do you think he licks him/herself!

To Clean!!!

Cats carry less germs than human beings so waching a cat will lower its resistance to sickness!!!

And shampoo is only a marketing thing,it will NOT,i repeat NOT kill flees or other parasites!!

Morons…

Bloody hell where is this world going to…..washing a cat,man!!!

People are making to much fuzz about this.. an unwashed cat is an abomination that must be cleansed properly…

Okay, listen up to the people that say that washing your cat is stupid:

There is no need to call names

Cats do need baths sometimes, not all cats do, but some do, just dont do it in the toilet! I only wash my cat when he smells so bad we can hardly stand it, he doesnt ever clean himself!

This toilet thing is a joke, if you dont believe me, its on flowgo.com also!

I like cats very much, yesterday we have a great party, and all the guest where full off the diner we eat.. It was fried cat with melon and french cheese…!!
It is normal here to eat cat and dog, so thats why we liked them so much, and a clean cat is always better too cook or fried.

My cat smudgie LUVS water. twice a month i will fill up the bathtub and call her, she will jump in immediately. i put one drop of a mild baby shampoo on a rag and rub where shes dirty.(she rolls in horse poop). then i rinse the rag off and give her a wet “massage”.the only part she doesnt like is having to get out of the water. i wrap her in a towel and leave her in the warm bathroom for a couple of minutes. she will lick the remainder of water off.

To all of those say that cats clean themselves so they don’t need to be washed, consider this, the Cockroach cleans itself for a larger percentage of time than ANY type of creature. If you had a large fluffy cockroach running around your house, would you not clean it?

I dont think so!

Remember, peoples allergies do not come from the cat fur, they come from cat saliva, and how does that saliva get all over their fur?!

“Cleaning” themselves!

you need professional help – you are a dimented jerk.

Everyday, I burrow into my puss, breathe deeply, kiss, and gently pretend to chew on her triangles or ears. I think triangles should be a delicacy brought to our dinner tables on little china tea plates. My puss smells like love, home, animal, and beauty. Wash her and I wash all that sweetness away. You’re missing out. They are fantastically sensuous, delicious creatures.

Anyone who takes this too seriously — take a deep breath, relax. This is the internet, not the Bible.

I love the pictures: cats really know how to tug at your heart strings!
I have allergies, and I have read that washing them once a week is not bad for them, and it does help keep allergens down. There are also products you can purchase that will help: they come in spray or mousse-like applications, and they seem to help. My 1 year old male is too strong for me to keep him in the sink. I should have tried more rewards. Now he is too freaked out to let me bathe him. ;-(

Hello. My name is Yu Ota working for a TV station called TV Tokyo in Japan. I am a producer of the TV program called Webtama.

My English is poor. I’ll apologize if any of my English sounds impolite and makes you feel uncomfortable.

The researchers of Webtama found Rippin kitten on the internet and we all think it’s very interesting. It would be great if we could introduce Rippin kitten in our show Webtama.

Webtama is the TV program that discovers something that is not famous and has not been exposed in mass media except for internet yet in Japan, and introduce them in the show. In the show, we introduce a number of things including blogs, games, animations, pictures and so on. As long as it’s on the web and interesting but not famous, we bring them up in the show.

This is our website. It’s all written in Japanese though. The show airs every Friday night from 25:30 to 26:00.

http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/webtama/

I have a couple of questions about . Are you any kind of organization? Or is it ran by an individual? Is there anyone to get a permission to introduce Rippin kitten in the show beside you?

Please reply us whether it’s okay with you to allow us to introduce Rippin kitten in our show Webtama. If you have any question, please let me know. I will be willing to answer the questions. Thank you very much for your time.

THANK YOU, iT WORKS VERY NICELEY. I DO IT ONCE A WEEK TO MY CAT. THEY NEED TO KNOW WHOS THE BOSS ONCE IN A WHILE.

You actually don’t need to wash your cat — they can do that themselves. But it is a good idea to use a cat comb on their fur once a day, otherwise they will puke occasionally to get rid of furballs.

what type of fuckin freak is that who washes a shitty cat?? are you that lonesome? slash your fuckin wrists off shitty losers..

That is not funny!

Poor Critters – I love mine and she hates me every time! As to the cat haters, Have sex with your dog!

o my geez this is the meanest thing i have ever seen in my whole freaking life. there is a reason u dont wash a cat, THEY HATE WATER! u ppl who think it is ok to flush a toliet with a cat in it, are in need of some mental help, maybe a trip to jail for animal abuse would do u some good.

What if your cats are covered in cigarette smoke from someone smokingin in apartment, and they are constantly lickingthemselvesto makethemselves clean but may be injesting more poisons that way? any suggestions? Would giving them a bath help?

Actually, the best way to wash a cat is to first shave all the hair off its head, then scrub with a louffa (spelling?) sponge really good. This gets all the dander off. I’ve got really bad allergies and since i own 7 or 8 cats in a small apartment (there always seems to be one more, or one less due to strays, fights, disease, ect..) this seems to be the only way to keep my apartment from smelling like a shit box and cat piss. You can clean a cat twice a week like this and i really like it. Alot. PS, they used to call this a tonsure, and for me it has a lot of religious significance. For my kitties too. Also, they are vegetarians like me.

@nkdKittyheadLVR – ahahaha. A collection of monk cats would be a sight to behold for certain.

A whole lot of people who replied do not seem to understand the concept of “tongue-in-cheek” statements. This is a form of humor in which things are not stated in seriousness. Then again, given the overall literary acumen of most of the responses, I’d guess it is difficult for several of the responders to read and comprehend anything more complicated than the title of the post itself. The amusement value of that concept coupled with the moral outrage flying all over almost outweighs the actual contents of the post itself. Bravo.

i’m Italian, my name is Ant. I have got 2 cats and. They and me said: very funny! :)

That is the cutest effin thing ever.

i hope nakedkittyhead is joking that he’s allergic so he removes their fur and and a layer of their skin for his own convenience. if so, it is a good commentary on a few of the commenters here who seem to seriously do just that.

sure, if your cat rolls in poo or poison or gets old and can’t clean himself any more, wash ‘im. but people who wash healthy, clean cats who HATE WATER are just neat freaks who put their ocd over the needs of a helpless animal.

also, it can’t be said enough: your cat could be seriously injured if you wash him in the toilet like that. i know it was meant as a joke, but people are stupid, so just don’t try it at home, okay?

Thanks for the thorough instructions. They’ve proven to be very helpful with my 3 cats, one of them really enjoys it. …And it does keep the toilet very clean.

One note, make sure not to be using one of those automatic blue toilet bowl cleaners at the same time you wash your cat. It took several weeks for the blue to fade.

OMG, I nearly cried laughing at this post.

How funny!!!
I have 2 toms, just over a year. They have had 3 baths in their life! I don’t believe in washing them every so often only if they smell bad or are so mucky licking doesn’t do anything.
That toilet joke made me laugh tho, not as funny as “How to give a cat a pill”

maybe you people would find it funny to put a baby in the toilet and flush it? dont mind the screams, the baby is enjoying it.

I get it but i don’t think it’s that funny. Actually i think it is a somewhat irresponsible post. Yes there are loads of unprepared animal owners out there and/or simply people who are cruel to animals. Even if one dimbulb tries flushing their kitty to see what will happen it would be a great shame.

Loving the pix though.

it hurts… uiiiiiiiiii…

amazing!…lolol

nkdkittyheadLVR here back for some more. I read all the posts on the site and want to thank you all for the tips. For example, when i shave the head now, i give them baby food. Now they associate tonsure with baby food (i think)! And when they are scared and run for the shit box, a couple of buried mousetraps stop that shit right quick! As for the bath, I love a clean Head and Shoulders smelling cat head. Just so confident and regal. Kitty head lovers write back! If my cat ever rolled in poo or poison I think I could trade him before he got sick.

I’m afraid my cat wouldn’t fit inside my toilet, at least in one piece, or even in solid form. I don’t think this method would work with cats of 20+lbs. I prefer to use the bathtub even if it requires double winterwear… or platemail.

I’d be insane to wash my cat in the toilet. Yeah, and, I’m a vegetarian, but before I became a vegetarian, I think I wouldn’t wash a cat in the toilet. And, feeding cats too much treats can let them getting used to it–It leads to obesity. But that’s a great idea actually :)

Hi, I tried a multiple-cleaning of 3 kittens in the toilet, they just never shoved up again. I miss them so much!!!!!
If anyone hear or see 3 sweet little kittens in neighbourhood or toilet, please call me at 553-CATS-DOWNTHEDRAIN

I bet all the people who complained about this are yanks….you are really the dumbest f**** on the planet!

love the pictures…

love the cat bathing *joke*

And bathing cats is not torturing them or haven’t you ever seen a cat sit outside in the rain.

Lots of cats like to play in the water, Turkish Vans are noted for it.

I might try the toilet method just to see how “Frisky” likes it. But at my house we still use the old “Dishwasher Method”. Just remember- Cats on the top rack & Dogs on the bottom. And always load the steak knives POINT DOWN!!

BTW- this is a joke- I LOVE CATS!

i wash my kitten once every two weeks…have done it since he was little and he actually likes it. i do it on a schedule and when he isn’t getting washed, he sits by the sink in the kitchen (where his baths take place) and will look at the water or at whomever is using it, as if to say he wants a bath. a few times he has jumped into the tub with me when i was taking my own bath. his behavior only gets problematic when the water stops running and he gets cold. I wipe him down as much as possible with towels and put him under a warm blanket. He usually will stay there, content as can be until he’s dry. It’s not torture to wash a cat, as long as it is done in a calm manner. Joking or not, throwing a cat into a bin full of water is not a good idea. Period.

I agree, bathing cats isn’t something to do daily, or really even weekly…but there are times it is necessary… such as fleas…or the fact that cats get themselves into more messes than anything…

I have two 10 week old kittens and they have just today had their second bath…This exciting experience was brought to us today by the fact that one of them got the bright idea to roll around in cake batter that had spilled on the counter and I was putting the cake in the oven…and somehow the little spot of batter on the counter grew to cover his back and his sisters head…So they got a bath…they didn’t like it…but it didn’t hurt them…a little bit of kitten shampoo in the kitchen sink and its all good…

I do however love the toilet joke…that is hilarious…and people need to stop taking everything so seriously…life needs a little humor…

Wet cat pics are hysterical.

Sometimes you DO have to bath your cat. Especially if they get into trash, pee or poo in their carrier, etc. People with allergies to cats are not necessarily allergic to the fur..the agent they’re allergic to is in the cat’s saliva. And of course, when they lick themselves, it’s transferred to their fur when they groom, it produces dander, it floats around, and boom, allergies. They do have cat wipes you can use to help that problem.

I don’t know who get tortured more during a cat bath..the cat or us!

If you have to bathe your cat, you MUST use lukewarm water.

DO NOT FOLLOW THE BOGUS METHOD IN THIS POST! Toilet water is very cold and will cause your cat to become hypothermic within a minute or less. The systemic shock of ice cold water could even kill your cat.

The suggested “method” is cruel and probably because of the fact that it hurts the animal, it is even illegal. In my state, torturing a cat in the way you suggest (with ice cold water) is a felony. Torturing ANY animal is a felony, as it should be.

Jokes are fine, but nobody should do what the post says.

The only thing more amusing than the pictures are the humorless illiterates who don’t understand the joke. Notice that there’s a strong correlation between not comprehending that it’s a joke and the use of text message TardSpeak such as “u” and “ur”. “You” is only three letters, you lazy f*cks. If you don’t know how to read and write basic English, stay the hell off the web. kthxbye.

I do not like wash my cat because he does not like it too and makes big eyes as those on your cool puctures. They are funny!

my sis almost did that because she thought it was real the poor kitty would be in a sewer

You jerks! Why the fuck would you flush a toilet with a cat in it! THAT IS CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. THIS IS AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT TO THIS WEBPAGE. FREAKIN’ IDIOTS. JERKS. FUCKING KINGS OF CRUELTYVILLE. YOU’RE SO STUPID THAT YOU DON’T KNOW CATS HATE WATER.

PUSSY PERVERTS!
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS!

We had a very old cat, she got to 21. When she was 19 she got very ill for 9 months and stopped washing herself. She was too weak to use her litter tray properly and cleaning her was a task that nearly made me retch. So that she wouldn’t get distressed we would gently wash her with moist wet toilet paper until she was completely clean – it took ages. Though we were very gentle, she didn’t like being wet at all and I thank God she was too weak to punish us for it. I would love to have been able to bath her but I’m fairly certain she would have reported us the RSPCA herself!

Stupid people. Retarded. I have to feel sorry for you as well as for the poor animals.

I’ve found that using a mesh laundry bag works really well. First, place cat in the bag, and then bathe cat. The cat cannot claw you, as every time it tries its claws get caught in the mesh. This was recommended to me by a vet.

The same vet also told me the only thing cats were good for were “getting rid of extra bricks and burlap sacks.”

To be honest, I’ve washed my little guy only three times….he tends to have “accidents” if he is awake when the vet is touching him….no one should have to clean poop off of themselves with their tongue.

Cats need a bath sometimes but those ideas could kill a cat they could break their legs get soap up their noses & ears how horrible can these people get never bathe your cat in the toilet!!!1

You’re an idiot for suggesting that cats can be washed in toilets, even if it was a joke. There are people stupider than you who will try it.

Why don’t you do your cat(s) a favor and put them up for adoption, good chance their new owner will have a brain.

I am sorry but I am not understanding why somebody would wash a cat?? If you look in the cat eyes you only find fearnes. I have sinc 30 years cats but never ever washed them. We should tread animals with respect!

I have to wash my cat at least once a month. He is quite fat (even though he is on a diet) and has long fur. After a while he starts getting pretty stinky because he cannot wash himself properly. So he gets a wash and a trim at least once a month.
It is not cuel either (with the exception of the toilet wash!) He doesn’t like it but has simply learned to tolerate it. If you take too long he will jump out though.

NKDKITTYHEAD here again. Yeah, uh, just in response to those who question my love and affection for those little fuckers, i can only say that my cats have learned to love whatever the fuck i want themn to do (or else). Although recently, my cats have been losing their hair and i think thats because they are jealous of the attention the other cats get (i have like 9 or 10, 3 are really sick right now because the box i keep them in is pretty foul, so maybe it will be 7 when this gets posted) So im gonna give my kitty heads lots of attention and shaving and kisses!!!!
XOXO
NKDKITTYHEADLVR

You are some stupid motherfuckers if you think cats are “clean animals.” And if you think that by licking themselves that they are cleaner then you are beyond fucking stupid.

I like the idea that Florilo put forward in the previous post of treading on cats with respect. I ive now tread on several of my cats with nothing but the utmost respect and i can tell you its pretty rewarding. Their little pink noses poke inbetween my toes and sometimes i swoon with envy wishing i could have a little pink nose and be tread on with respect. I of course still look forward to my many washings after treading on them and get their little ears clean as a whistle! sometimes i kiss them and sneak a little nibble on the little pink ears!
This is of course,
NKDKITTYHEADLVR

I am never for the cat to wash. When dirty or stink cat for wash himself with tongue. For my cats even wash my feet when dirty…LOL…For course i am not for washing feet with cat but i wanted to be in spirit of others on this site! JK

neverwashed

WTF!!!!!
Thats pretty wierd!
Anyway, I AM for having a dedicated “foot cat” so to speak. Heres how I would do it: I would reward the cat with little treats and kisses when it does something like licking my feet, and i would punish him severely when he doesnt! In a few weeks, VOILA! a dedicated manservant foot cat. Pretty nifty idea.
Today, I shit myself and that was pretty crazy.

So you have a cat that licks your ass? And eats shit? We need to meet! Maybe we can train a cat to give blow jobs.

You people that think cats clean themselves should not be allowed to own them. When a cat licks itself, it deposits an enzyme that WILL SMELL and can be dangerous to humans, although not very often. Yes, cats lick themselves to clean themselves but they STILL need bathing at least ewvery 2 weeks!

I do have to wash my fluffy orange tabby, Buddy, occasionally; about once a month.
Most of the time he’ll make such panicky noises I expect the neighbours to come knocking, but after the soapy soak (which I can’t do for long on account of said neighbours), he calms right down and enjoys his towelling and blow dry.
Then I give him some treats and tell him what a good boy he is! He’s 14, gorgeous and extremely bonded to me ~ doesn’t really like anybody else.
Bath time is never fun but it has to be done.

My other cat Ashley is better with baths but doesn’t need them that often.

There’s nothing wrong with washing your cat in a sink or tub. Its understandable that cats may be scared of water but most cats are scared of water bc they’re not used to it. It’s true that you have to get them used to taking baths. I have a kitten that I have been bathing everyday (which may sound bad) but she doesn’t clean herself properly. After using the bathroom there will be poop stuck in her hair toward her backside area & sometimes stuck in her leg hair. Also, there will be cat litter stuck in her paws. So instead of having a poopy cat I wash her, & I don’t see anything wrong with that. She is actually very calm when I put her in the water. On top of the poop, I am allergic but I haven’t had problems since washing her & keeping her clean. SO maybe I’m one of the people that’s allergic to their saliva.

Mental note…. Hippies don’t like when you talk about washing your cat. It makes you a kitten and puppy killing, baby eating monster and your going to hell cause that cat got wet. An occasional flee bath or the cat managed to get covered in dirt or smells like poop bath doesn’t hurt it at all. My cat even plays with water all the time.
