Cleaning Series

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

We decided to wait for the rain to go away today before heading out on vacation so it was kind of a putzy day. I happened to have my camera on hand when Peanut decided to take a bath. So, seeing as it's kind of slow around here, I thought everyone might enjoy (?) this series of pictures of Peanut taking a bath. (And you're thinking "Boy, this has got to be a slow weekend when Debbie takes pictures of Peanut taking a bath, and it's gotta be an even slower weekend because I'm sitting here looking a them!" )

Ok, here they are. Step one, lift that leg high and start getting into it.


Step two, dig a little deeper. (ok, I know I'm putting Peanut up for Matyr of the Month with these shots, but what they hey.)


Step three, "Moooommm....puh leaze!"


Step four, don't let that tail get out of hand!


Step five, "If mom insists on taking pictures, I'm going to show off one of the spots that I licked clean." The hair is starting to grow back but still has a ways to go.


Step six, time to get that final cootie that's been tickling my leg.


And finally, step seven. "Whew, now I'm clean I can roll over and look cute."


Now she's all clean and sitting on my lap as I type this. Hope you enjoy!

one big ball of fluffy fur!! she is SO cute!

Muffin does that (as all cats I'm sure).. put her leg in the air and start licking,LOL. I tried to tell her it's not ladylike but she said she didn't care!

Peanut is a beautiful cat! I am really starting to like the long hair, fluffy cats more and more now! Emma and Louise are very short hair, and Louise still has the big ear look, you know how kitties look til they "grow into" their ears? it's really cute!
and they are still all legs! Emma weighs slightly more than Louise, Lu is still pretty petite looking, but from her appetite I don't know how she stays like that!

anyway, Peanut is adorable!

This is soooo cute! Thank you for sharing those adoring pictures. I love the last one where Peanut is looking cute.

Oh my, Trevor is just smitten with Peanut and her long glorious hair. He immediately went to work to tidy himself up so that I could send his photo along to her. Andy, in the photo also, feels that swapping pictures bathing is not proper (you can sort of see the look of disdain on his face!)

Great photos you guys. I wish my two would sit still long enough for me to snap a pic of them. Every time I get up to take a pic, they think its time to play and they start running around like little fools. They usually sleep in dark areas of the house so when they are still, they are hidden. Oh well. Maybe when they get a little older, they will calm down. RIGHT!

Oh, pretty Peanut! How agile! Ritzy has to cram herself into the corner of a couch to get to those, ahem, "places" because if she tries to do it on a flat surface she just ends up rolling over


Perhaps Peanut should start her own Grooming Stretchersize Video - a certain hit!

Great pics. Peanut is a beauty!

Thanks everybody, for all the wonderful comments. I see that I goofed and the first and second pictures are the same ones. I'll have to correct that tonight when I get home. That last picture is one of her favorite positions. For some reason we must all look better upsidedown.
