Someone Drew a Bubble Bath, and a Black Cat Took the First Turn
Thick white bubbles heap up around a sleek black cat sitting in the bathtub, only her head and shoulders showing. Her green eyes are steady and a little surprised, and a few bubbles have settled on her whiskers. A curtain and shelf stand in a bright, tidy bathroom behind her. Whoever drew this bath seems to have been interrupted by a guest.
Most cats avoid baths, since their coats are not designed for soaking and they groom themselves carefully. A cat that wanders into a tub often does so for warmth, a quiet spot or to explore. Soap and bubbles are a different story, though, because many bath products are not meant to be licked, and a cat grooming her wet fur could swallow some. If a cat gets into soapy water, rinse her gently with plain lukewarm water, dry her with a towel and call your vet if she seems unwell.
Black cats are known for glossy coats that show every bubble, though their colors have no effect on their personalities. A quiet cat in a bathtub often just wants a cozy spot, and an empty tub with a folded towel can serve the same purpose without the suds.
This one carries the whole situation with a calm that is almost spa-like. She has not said a word, but her face suggests the water is perfectly fine.
