A Ragdoll Is Up to His Whiskers in Bubble Bath Foam
Drenched fur, tiny soap bubbles on his whiskers, and a very big question in his blue eyes: a Ragdoll sits in the bathtub, looking up at whoever just walked in. His cream coat has flattened into damp curls, his dark ears and mask are slicked back, and white foam rises around his paws.
The bathroom around him is homey and a bit cluttered: a blue towel hangs over the cabinet, a toothbrush cup and soap bottle line the edge of the tub, and a laundry basket sits in the corner. A mesh sponge rests on the side as if waiting for a turn.
Most cats do not need baths, since they groom themselves, and many dislike water. Some breeds that can get matted, or cats that have gotten into something messy, may need help now and then. If you do bathe a cat, use a shampoo made for cats, keep the water lukewarm and shallow, speak softly, and dry him thoroughly in a warm room. Never leave a cat alone in a tub. Ragdolls tend to be relaxed and tolerant, which can make bath time easier than average, but ask your vet or a groomer for guidance first.
The Ragdoll has gone limp and docile, the way his breed is famous for. He may be wet, but he is making the most of the spa treatment, and the bubbles are clearly a bonus.
