Procedure for those Black n' White Striped Cats

AHS procedure for those "black n' white" striped cats known as "skunks"_

Persona non grata!! First of all, they are mostly nocternal...which means they come out at nite time to try to tresspass in your territory. An' they are tricky an' absolutely not wanted around the homestead by your mom or dad. They are almost always distinguished by their black w/a white stripe down their back....pure sign of a criminal...an' their scent is decidedly stinky. Chase an' evade is about all you can do w/those guys, since they use biological weapons. It's a catch twenty two situation....you can chase an' even capture....but...once you catch 'em...you can never put 'em down...not ever! They can never "lock, load, an' shoot" unless they have "all four on the floor" an' take aim. Once they do that....it's all over but the baths. It's a tricky situation all around.....your folks don't want 'em around at all.....but they don't want you to chase 'em off......what to do....well, this is one of those situations that you have to decide if it's better to ask forgiveness (be sure an' look pitiful)...or ask permission (not ever gonna happen).
If you do happen to forget an' let 'em get "all four on the floor" an' get sprayed.  Oh my gosh, that stuff is almost lethal.  It'll burn your eyes an' nose like pepper spray..only it smells worse.  You won't even be able to stand yourself.  An' your mom n' dad....well, let's just say they'll hardly be able to stand you, either, an' will have you in a bath before you can even attempt to rub it off yourself. 
Tomater juice don't work.  It'll only make you look like you were involved in some kind of slaughter. 

This is the recipe for gettin' "DeSkunked" for your mom or dad (whoever lost the bet an' has to bathe you)

1 Qt 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp. liquid soap  (like Dawn)                                                                                

 First pour the peroxide into a large container (like a water pitcher), add the baking soda, and stir. After they've mixed, add the soap and mix again. From there you can just sponge the mixture onto your dog, taking care to keep it out of their eyes. Wait five minutes so the mixture can do its job and absorb the smell, then thoroughly rinse off your dog. The skunk smell will disappear, never to return—at least until your dog has another encounter.
