How to Wash the Cat

How to Wash the Cat

1. Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2. Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet.

3. Obtain the cat and carry him to 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 to ensure that the cat cannot escape)

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power wash and rinse."

6. Have someone open the outside door and be sure no one is standing 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.

The above mentioned method is not recommended for Rupert.

Just remember, cats have a real good memory and no issues at all in getting revenge.

So I have to ask.... would this be classified as 'suicide' or 'death by misadventure'?

[Riverwind (imported)]

No, we would not do that to Rupert, he would get even and in the process make your life hell.

He can be very annoying, mows a lot to go outside, so you let him out, then he gets pissed because its 20 below and HE KNOWS ITS YOUR FAULT.

He can be won back over with a can of cat food and some serious scratching behind the ears. After all it can't be 20 below tomorrow can it?

It is definitely not a one man job. One person - well gloved, I hope - would have to hold the cat down, while another closes the lid. If you dropped the cat in - if it's any cat I've known - he would be out, before you ever laid hands on the lid.

This is the practical detail that demonstrates that Schrodinger's Cat is entirely a "thought experiment".

Riverwinds comment reminds me of a great old scifi story called (I think)

"Door into Summer"

[Riverwind (imported)]

A door into Summer by Heinlein. I have a copy.

The cat walked through walls,

You may want to know how, well its really quite simple, he did not know he couldn't.
