A Calico Cat Climbed Into the Bubbles and Looked Up Politely

AI imagecalico catbubble bathbathroom

Only the calico's head and shoulders rise above a heap of bubbles in the big white tub. Her orange, black, and white fur is dotted with foam, and her round green eyes look up with a hopeful, innocent expression. Bubbles cling to her whiskers, and the soft light from the bathroom window glows against the white tiles. A towel hangs on the wall and another sits on the floor, waiting.

Most cats dislike water, but a few enjoy it, and the sense of a warm, bubbly tub can be very tempting. Cats are very clean animals that usually do not need baths, so a bubble bath is not part of their routine, and human soap can irritate a cat's skin. If a cat ends up in suds, rinse her gently with lukewarm water and dry her with a soft towel. If she has swallowed a lot of soap, check in with your vet. Keep the bathroom door closed when the tub is filling.

Tabitha, as she might be called, has not yet decided if this is a spa or a trap. The bubbles are crisp and cheerful, and her expression is thoughtful. She seems quite willing to enjoy the moment, at least until the towel arrives. It may take several tries to get her out of the bath, and several more to convince her it was a good idea.
