To my Freeper fans (?), I do have more that the barfing guy. LOL.
I got her at the best 'Cat House' in America, Fabulous Feline, in Manhattan (NYC), on 2nd or 3rd Ave in the 40's, as I recall. A must visit for any cat lover.

Speaking of cats ... I gotta get a pair of kitty handcuffs and I got to get em right away. The other day I found out my cat was embezzling from me. Everyday, while I'm at work, my cat goes out to the mailbox, picks up my checks, goes down to the bank and cashes them ... disguised as me. He had his little kitty Oriole cap, and his little kitty "treason's the reason" T-shirt. And I wouldn't have caught him either except I looked outside in his little house (where he sleeps) and there was about $3000.00 worth of cat toys out there. And I couldn't return them because they had spit all over em. So now I'm stuck with three thousand dollars worth of cat toys ... sure they're fun. I got the little rubber mouse that's got the bell inside of it. I hate it when it goes under the sofa. (ending Steve Martin routine here)
Uh...What?
On the contrary, real men are not intimidated by cats.
It is only guys who are not so certain of thier masculinity who feel threatened by them.
A cat cannot be easily controlled, a trait insecure men have a problem with.
Appoint him, the official cat bather. All cats must be
unneutered feral Tom cats. Osama will be required to
be nude when bathing cats. After he masters the art of
bathing the Tom's, we'll have him try his hand bathing
Bobcats, pound for pound one of the most ferocious
canines.
If Osama shows unusual skill, we'll have him try his hand
with Wolverines.
I will vouch for Sungirl's technique--it works!!! If your kitty is all stretched out, can't get a good toe hold on anything, you stand a much better chance of bathing the cat without completely destroying the house (LOL).
The "lower kitty feet first, legs stretched out" also works beautifully for putting your ROTTEN CAT into a cat carrier (stand carrier on it's end first, open the door, lower kitty in, slam the door FAST).
Before we learned the above technique, hubby and I would have to engage in mortal combat with our 18 pound "Queenie" every time she had to be bathed or put in a carrier. If we could get her in the carrier at all, it might take BOTH of us up to 20 minutes of concentrated wrestling, head-locking, cramming, chasing--often to no avail whatsoever. Half the time we could not get that D*MN cat in the carrier at all!!!
The veterinarian showed us the "lower feet first" method--it worked so well we were embarassed how simple it was. (LOL, you'd think two college graduates could have outwitted an illiterate 18 pound kitty on their own......)
