Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

How to clean your cat and the toilet at the same time ....

... just a bit of genius from my brother the Confederate Nut. You can try this at home. I can picture Bob the Cat, for instance, having a grand time. Be sure to follow the directions carefully or you might miss the entire effect.

How to wash a toilet

This was simply too much of a time saver not to share it with you.

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 the lid. 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 the lid.


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

Both the commode and the cat will be sparkling clean.

Me, I can't figure out why Lil Sis always said we were mean to her cat. And besides, Mother did too stop us before we could turn the machine ON when we put the kittens into the old front loader.

And I perfer to think of this as only a little short story.

I still have the wonderful birthday card you illustrated with my cat flying thru the air after being shot out of a cannon, and I remember the suggestion from our brother (The General) that we put Fluffy in a block of lucite with wheels on it so I could walk her (said it would be an "ACTION" pose after throwing it in the vat). Oh...and I believe the version of the "Let's Wash the Cats" story included them flipping around a few times in the washer.

Just thought I would clear up a few facts for your reading audience.

Like Gamble Rogers said when someone asked him about a funny family story that he told in his show, "Gamble, did it really happen just like that?" "Well if it didn't happen like that, it should have!"

And besides, I liked the one of your cat shot out of a catapult, complete with medieval Latin dialog.

And Mother said she stopped us before the cats started to churn. Just to be precise. Of course, I think my only role was trying to stop our brother The General.
