Grandma Was Busy Scrubbing the Car. She Should Have Kept an Eye on the Hose.

Car wash day has hit a snag. Grandma Edie is busy scrubbing the side of her old grey sedan with a blue sponge, soap suds sliding down the doors. Meanwhile, Frost has seized control of the garden hose. He grips the black hose in both front paws as a fountain of water sprays up and splashes across his silver ruff, his expression fixed and determined. Edie glances over with a look that says she isn't surprised in the least. Puddles cover the driveway, autumn leaves float in the wet, and a flowerpot of pink blooms sits by the garage.

Some cats are surprisingly fascinated by running water, even if they dislike baths. Moving water catches the eye, makes interesting sounds, and is fun to bat at. That curiosity is why many cats love drinking from dripping faucets, and why pet water fountains are popular for encouraging cats to drink more. If your cat plays with outdoor water, keep them away from car-washing products, which may contain chemicals that are harmful if licked off fur. Rinse paws afterward and dry long fur thoroughly so it doesn't tangle or stay damp in cooler weather.

Frost certainly looks like he's having the time of his life, even if he's getting just as wet as the car. Edie may end up washing two things today instead of one.

Every chore goes a little faster with a helper, or at least it becomes far more entertaining.
