Robert, Wayne, Kelly,
Bathing Cats. A personal experience.
Make the cat comfortable in your lap, comfort him, let him know there is
nothing to fear, although there is nothing but a large void of water
surrounding him (he is in a row boat in the middle of a lake).
Bring him close to the goal, a larger boat that looks large enough to grasp
a hold of (even though it has nothing to grasp ahold of - shear vertical
plastic walls).
Let him jump and cling to the side of the new goal. It was good for a few
miliseconds.
Then set the wet cold miserable cat into your lap and comfort him, it
wasn't his fault, he did not know better.
He might listen now.
Tigger never jumped off the digney onto the sailboat ever again. He was
ever patient.

Hey Phil ,
He He He He !!! I'll bring my cat & you can do a segment at Wayne's workshop on just how to wrap the little darlings. ( with the bloody stumps that used to be the ends of your arms) :oD My big boy says: "Mommy give me some 'nip...NOW " & beats up on Rottweilers . If you think you could get him to sit still for a complete body wrap I would love to see that! You do have disability insurance don't you?

In response to Mel's post (below) I will be holding a workshop on "How to
Herd Cats". The cost of the workshop will be only $20, two cans of
(preferably untainted) cat food, and a box of Band-Aid Brand bandages
(economy size).
During the workshop, I will be demonstrating the proper use of an electric
can opener, Kitty fishing pole toy techniques (taught by Gail Phillips) and
"Catnip treats, when is enough too many?". With the proper use of these
tools, one can have any cat-within-earshot's undivided attention and abject
loyalty...however short-lived.
The second segment of the workshop will be devoted to "Giving your feline
friend a Bath", and will cover topics including: "Has the Bleeding stopped
yet?", "When to call 911", "Your Vet is trained for a reason" and "No, the
Fire Department will NOT respond to your call about the cat in a tree."
Logan Johnson will be instructing during the "Body blocking the cat into the
cat-carrier" segment. Non-spew refreshments will be served.
All collected cat food will be donated to a pet shelter.
Film shot during the workshop will be sent to America's Funniest Home
Videos.
Stay tuned!
Wayne Seidl

Hi Wayne, Gail, all...
One often neglected but wonderful method of Cat Herding or general
management, requires that one simply wrap the Cats after the manner of the
old Aegyptians, in their method of wrapping Cat-Mummies...just a few dozen
yards of some inch and half wide sheer Cloth or Muslin 'Tape' or similar
notion...and...presto! You can herd them up all you like.
But, of course, one does this with the vital and living Cat.
This allows one to set them anywhere, and they stay put nicely...even if
sometimes meowing off and on plaintively.
One can 'roll' them even, just like a soft-lumpy Cylinder, if one wishes, or
when not wishing to have to walk clear across a room to put them somewhere,
one just gives them a nice 'roll' and off they go.
Good to bear in mind though, that if setting them on a Table Top or
something, if they try squirming much they can manage to roll 'off' on their
own, which makes a somewhat disquieting 'thud'.
And, they LOVE it!
You should see the happy and excited 'wide' look in their eyes with just
their little head sticking out!
Anyway, I hope you include this in the Workshop...
By the way, Canned Cat Food is bad for their Teeths...while fresh, robust,
live and wiggley field Mice and large Bugs are excellent plaque-removers,
gingivitis inhibitors, and all round Teeth brighteners...to say nothing of
breath fresheners...and Hair-Ball looseners.
If one is NOT stepping on a cold squishy Hair Ball in the middle of the
night on one's way to the bathroom, one knows something is not right...!
Love,
Phil

You do know the easiest way to give a cat a bath and wrince ???
1. Add a little shampu to the water in the toilet bowl.
2. Raise lid with one hand , throw cat in, slam lid down fast.
3. Count to 30 while cat self baths, flush toilet.
4. Let toilet refill.
5. Count to 30 while cat self wrences, flush toilet.
6. Make sure all doors to the outside are open.
7. Raise toilet, Cat will self dry on the way out.
8. Repeat as often as need till all cats are bathed.
9 You may want to record this also, and submit to animal lovers
around the world...:) ;) ;)

I am here to publicly assert that Phil is a fraud! It is obvious to
anyone who spends any time at all picking cat hair out of their glazes,
food, mouths etc that Phil has NEVER actually
attempted this extremely dangerous stunt.... at least not without a
rubber mallet and a haz-mat suit . .......
Its a well documented fact that a cat will lay so still for hours at a
time that you are tempted to put a mirror under their nose to check
for breath ......UNTIL:
1.) they detect the however faint sound of any type of food container (
preferably a human food container) being opened
2.) You approach with a camera because they are so cute when they
sleep or a cat carrier because it is time for a trip to the V-E-T or
nail clippers, flea dip, etc ......
3.) Ditto # 2 for linen bandage wraps
at which point the seemingly "dead to the world" kitty disappears at 7
times the speed of light .....
so , all I can say to you , Phil, is : We want to see pictures ......of
either the kitty ....or the scars :O)
