Diary from Dog and Cat

Clean Your Toilet - The Fun Way

1. Put both lids of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. The cat will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.

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

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

8. The cat will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

Sincerely,

The Dog
 
LOL My ninja cat has perfected the escape and last night while out on patrol managed to catch herself a bunny. Now she couldn't just eat the thing....saves on "dry cereal" , she had to play with it. She would pick it up, at which time it would scream like only a bunny can, and carry it to one end of the yard. Then release it and as it tried to escape would bat it around until they got to the other end of the yard. Then she would pick it up and we repeated this scenario for a couple hours. Poor bunny. I even tried bringing her inside for a while, but the rabbit was too stupid to leave so on her escape she caught it again and played some more. What can I say... cats will be cats. :rolleyes: At least I don't have a mice and roof rat problem. In fact, I haven't heard of anyone in my immediate area with one :eek: :D
 
I'm a big cat lover. Not sure how I wound up with 2 cats and 5(!) dogs.

I was in the feed store last week and saw this booklet: "Homemade cat toys- How to turn your home into a feline paradise!"

I told my wife "Our house IS a feline paradise! We go out and work all day and buy them expensive catfood, let them drink out of the bathroom sink, get up at night let them in and out and serve them! We don't need to read a book" ;)

My beloved old dear departed cat Cujo loved to hike with me. But she was a short legged longhair. After half a mile or so she would start panting and her little tongue would hang out, but she never wanted picked up. One time we were hiking about 2 miles and a wicked downpour hit. She walked with me in the rain and finally the last quarter mile let me zip her up in my hooded sweatshirt and carry her. When I put her down at home she was about as soaked as the cat in the pic.
 
When I was a lab assistant, the department was doing behavioral stidies of reptiles. We had a problem with cats getting into the habitat and eating the reptiles. Head man got a couple of Spiny Iguanas. They are carnivores who came on shore, adapted to eating plants, but kept carnivore teeth. Heavily armored. Large. They left the other reptiles alone, munched their lettuce -- and the occasional cat. Peace returned. We could go back to counting behaviors.

Our latest stray cat would have been a munchee. He loves to attack tails - cat or dog. Not overly bright. Iguana tail would have drawn him right into range. (He was a year old and 4.1 pounds when I rescued him. He has gained weight nicely but not judgment.)
