The Bubble Bath Was Prepared for Someone Else. A Devon Rex Hopped In.

AI imagedevon rexcaught in the actbathtub

Bubbles pile up in a white bathtub, and a damp cream-colored Devon Rex rests one paw on the tub's rim, her large ears tilted and her wavy coat lightly dusted with foam. Her golden-green eyes look off with a guilty and startled glow. A towel is draped over the edge, a basket of laundry sits in the corner, and a toothbrush cup, a plant and a bar of soap wait on the sill in the bright light from the window. We'll call her Marshmallow Fluff, since she's covered in it.

Devon Rex cats have thin, wavy coats that feel like soft velvet, and their large ears and pixie faces make them stand out. They often love warmth and may seek out sunny spots or laps. Most cats don't need frequent baths, but a Devon's fine coat can get oily. If a bath is needed, use a product made for cats and keep the water warm and shallow, and dry her gently afterward with a towel in a warm room. Human soaps and bubble bath can irritate skin and are harmful if licked, so ask your vet what's safe. A calm voice and a treat make bath time easier.

Marshmallow Fluff is trying to climb out with as much dignity as she can manage. The bubbles cling stubbornly to her whiskers, and she's unsure what to think. Once she's dry and warm, the whole adventure will become a story she can tell in her own way.
