Kyle,
I'm astonished at you. That was way out of bounds, dangerous and, well, what were you thinking?
I've tried that damn thing and many others. It just doesn't work! I lost about a pint of blood in the process. Works pretty good on the kids though...

Stupid question time: Why are people so bitterly divided over cats? Either they absolutely gush over them, like Elmira in Tiny Toons. Or they secretly cheer when they hear legends about Chinese restaurants serving kung pao kitty.
Maybe it's the same reason Hillary Clinton inspires so much division: In interviews, she seems to think "it's all about Hillary." She is obsessed with herself. Do cats come across the same way?

How to bath a cat! ( The Flush and Fluff Method )
1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.
3. Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.
4. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (you may need to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).
CAUTION: Do not get any part of your body too close to the edge, as his paws will be reaching out for any purchase they can find.
5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a 'power wash and rinse' which I have found to be quite effective.
6. Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the outside door.
7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
8. The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he will dry himself.
Sincerely,
The Dog

Method 2
First: Dress for the occasion.A 4-ply rubber wet suit is suggested, along with a helmet, face mask and welders gloves.
A Bathtub with a glass enclosure is preferred to the one with a shower curtain. A frenzied cat can shred one of these in about 3. 5 seconds.
Have the Kitty Bubbles and towel in the enclosed bathtub area before hand. No, blow drying the cat after the bath is not suggested.
Draw the water, making it a little warmer than needed as you still need to find the cat. Position everything strategically in the shower, so you can reach it even if you are face down or prone in the tub.
Find your cat. Use the element of surprise. Pick the cat up, nonchalantly as if you were simply carrying him/her to the supper dish. No need to worry about the cat noticing your strange attire, the cat barely notices you anyway.
Once you and the cat are inside the bathroom, speed is essential. In one single liquid motion . shut the door to the bathroom, step into the shower, close the sliding doors, and drop the cat into the water.
While the cat is still in a state of shock, locate the Kitty Bubbles and squirt whatever part of him is above the water line.
You have just begun the wildest 45 seconds of your life.
Remember that cats have no handles and add the fact that he now has soapy fur. His state of shock has worn off and he's madder than a wet hornet.
As best you can (wearing welder's gloves), try to field his body as he catapults through the air toward the ceiling. If possible, give another squirt of Kitty Bubbles with his body now fully exposed.
During the 5 seconds you are able to hold onto him, rub vigorously. No need to worry about rinsing. As he slides down the glass enclosure into the tub, he will fall back into the water, rinsing himself in the process.
Only attempt the lather and rinse process about 3 times. The cat will realize the lack of traction on the glass by then and will use the next attempt on the first available part of you.
Next, the cat must be dried. No, this is NOT the easiest part. By this stage, you are worn out and the cat has just become semi-permanently affixed to your right leg.
We suggest here that you drain the tub and in full view of your cat, reach for the bottle of Kitty Bubbles.
If you have done the previous step correctly, the cat will be off your leg and hanging precariously from your helmet.
Although this view of the cat is most disgusting, he will be in a much better position for wrapping the towel round him.
Be sure cat is firmly wrapped in towel before opening tub enclosure.
Open bathroom door, put towel wrapped cat on floor and step back quickly. Into tub, if possible, and do not open enclosure until all you can see is the shredded towel.
In about 2 hours it will be safe to exit the bathroom. Your cat will be sitting out there somewhere looking like a small hedgehog while plotting revenge.

Sharon, I forgot to tell you how much I laughed at your response from the cat 
You always find the perfect pics!

Tonio, I seem to remember that the Cats vs. Dogs thread from before turned into a huge flamewar (what a surprise) - especially after the PETA people got in on the act. Cari, am I remembering that correctly? Seems people were awfully defensive about their pet choices.

I think I found one answer: http://www.mindspring.com/~rasamus/cathate1.htm. This guy really devoted a lot of time and effort to his shrine to ailurophobia.
Here's a quote: "Q. Why do I hate cats? A. They are undisciplined. Punishing a cat does absolutely no good. They do what they want to do when they want to do it and the hell with anyone else. . ." My response is, no one is forcing him to own a cat, or a dog for that matter.
You're right, vrai, people do get really defensive over their pet choices. In one sense, that's a good thing because they really care a lot about their pets. I hope that means they take good care of the animals, too.
