Regular bathing for cats?

How to Bathe A Cat
1.Thoroughly clean the toilet.
2. Add about 1 cup of shampoo to the toilet water and raise both lids.
3. Get the cat and soothe him while you 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 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 four times (once for the 'power wash' and three more times for the rinse cycle).
6. Have someone open the bathroom door and ensure that there are no people between the toilet and the bathroom 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 for the dry cycle.

The DOG

You're joking, right? My pet cat would probably have a panic attack if I did that to her.

Will the number 4 setting on my washing machine do for both cats together or should I wash them them separately?

What colour are they? Also, have they been machine-washed before? If one's light and the other dark and/or they've never been machine-washed you should wash seperately. Otherwise go for it.

wouldn't any cat if they were shut in something and soaked with water??!! How does the poor cat know it's not gonna drown?

Some cats don't take to it. Others seem to quite like it. There's no danger of drowning as the centrifugal force keeps them buoyant (they have a certain natural buoyancy anyway).
 
The main thing to watch out for is that you should wear ear plugs.
Cat claws on the porcelain make the most eeevil sqrawking noise you ever heard.

Considering the list of things to do that Orleander posted is ended with "Sincerely, The DOG", I would bet that it is in fact a joke.

What?
You don't take written advice from your dog?

I've been giggling hysterically about that. As if I wash the cat in the toilet...its where I washed the kids.
