    How to wash a cat. 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. At this point 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 well back, 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. 9. Both the toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean.

      10. Prepare antiseptic bandages for when the cat next finds you snoozing in the chair. Defibrulator may be required for older pet owners.

          I much prefer to use the Laundromat. It only takes a couple of quarters, and the dryer makes them really fluffy. Of course, if you don't use one of those fancy dryer sheets, you could get electrocuted taking the beast out of the dryer; they pick up a helluva charge in twenty minutes.

                You should have had a look at the open source CATOS. CM_DROWNING is sent as soon as a single drop of water touches the cat:

                virtual CATRESULT CatProc(HCAT hCat, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
                {
                HOWNER hOwner;

                switch (message) 
                {
                    case (CM\_DROWNING):
                        Panic(hCat);
                        hOwner = GetOwner(hCat);
                        if(hOwner != NULL)
                        {
                            DestroyOwner(hCat);
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            SetPersistantValue(hCat, OWNER\_STYLE\_EVIL);
                            Forgive(hCat, FALSE);
                            PostMessage(hCat, CM\_FLEE, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)0);
                        }
                        return 1;
                        break;
                
                    case (CM\_SLEEP):

                }
                return DefCatProc(hCat, message, wParam, lParam);
                

                }
