REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Cat Bathing Update

My first post prompted a flood of e-mail...well, one message...from Larry Anderson over at Kudzu Acres on alternatives methods of cat bainage:
A friend sent this. I am still trying to decide which of my dog friends has learned to type.

Directions:

1. Thoroughly clean toilet.

2. Lift both lids and add shampoo

3. Find and soothe cat as you carry him/her to the bathroom

4. In one swift move, place cat in toilet, close both lids and sit on top so cat cannot escape.

5. The cat will self agitate and produce ample suds. (Ignore ruckus from inside the toilet, cat is enjoying this.)

6. Flush toilet 3 or 4 times. This provides power rinse, which is quite effective.

7. Have someone open outside door, stand as far from toilet as possible and quickly lift both lids.

8. Clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and outdoors, where he will air dry.

Sincerely, The Dog
Indeed, a worthwhile alternative. Although I can't quite figure out why you need to clean the toilet first--seems like the powerful agitation action would be good for cleaning both cat and pot. Anyway, I'm sure Larry will also be working this up into PowerPoint and posting it to our vast file of Continuing Education programs.
