cat shower ^^
On Wednesday evening, Yuukan came home with a slight limp, caked in dirt and stinking like hell. Luckily, the limp didn't last and she had no visible injuries, so we assume that she'd gone snooping around at the deer shelter/barn on our neighbouring meadow and had maybe just fallen into a barrel of silage. The sickly-sweet odour certainly confirmed that theory.
In any event, we weren't having a stinking, dirty cat lounging in our living room (nor did I favour the idea of her licking herself clean, which seemed to be Yuukan's plan), so we took hold of her and marched her straight into the bathroom. Into the bathtub she went, where we helped her to a gentle, warm shower. Surprisingly enough, she squirmed a bit but wasn't trying too seriously to escape the treatment. The part of being dryed off with a towel, she even visibly enjoyed. All in all, I guess she was thankful for being rid of the stench. ;)
Oh! and guess what she did first thing the next morning? Join me in the bathroom and jump right into the empty bathtub. ^^
