A few years ago we had Pepsi, he was quite an old cat with not many teeth, his fur used to get a bit stained where he dribbled and couldn't quite groom himself.
we bathed him in the kitchen sink, wasn't too happy at first but after a couple of times got used to it - bribed him with a plate of cat food whilst we blow dried him with the hair drier

came up nice and fluffy...
