Bella Takes a Bath
A few weeks ago, I was feeling really achy so I decided that a hot bubble bath was in order. Bubbles, music, a glass of wine and a book. I settled in the warm water ready to relax for a few minutes.
Bella had other ideas. Walking back and forth along the side of the tub. Sniffing, trying to touch the water without falling in. I couldn’t read, I was busy trying to keep an eye on her. She slipped, once, twice, three times. Three wet paws. She would jump down and walk around the bathroom with a step-shake, step-shake, step, step-shake. So cute. But in just a minute she was back on the edge of the tub…so curious.
I warned her, I told her that this wouldn’t end well. I was right. A slip and a splash and she was in. I quickly lifted her out of the bath and set her on the floor. She took off like a shot, running here and there, into the living room, back to the bathroom, into the front room and back again. I jumped out of the tub to console her, by the time I managed to get a hold of her she had rolled in the kitty litter!
She was covered, caked with a soggy clay mess. Uck!
Dripping wet with just my towel wrapped around me, holding this quite distressed very dirty kitten, I was forced to give her another bath. A real one. She didn’t fight me, but was not happy about it…not one bit.
Not surprisingly, my last bubble bath was kitten free!
Bella and her favorite spot…any of the heat registers in the house!
It’s flippin’ cold around here!
She’s a beautiful cat! At least when she’s dry.

Thank you! We think so!
LOL! Curiosity… well, at least it didn’t kill her.
She’s growing so fast, and she’s gorgeous! I love her curly whiskers.
I hadn’t realized just how much she’s changed! I’m in love with those whiskers too!
She is so beautiful. Kovu does that when Tara takes a bath, he has slipped in several times… he WAY bigger than Bella.
I used to laugh at my “girls” Emmie and Cassie when we had the pool in FL. They would get on the skinny ledge between the pool and the screen, and again, I knew it would not end well, more than once I had wet cats come running through the house from an unexpected dip in the pool!

Cute! I can just see it!!
Oh Kelly! She is SO cute!!! My favorite precious cat passed in January at 18 years of age and she was a black and white beauty like Bella. I miss her SO MUCH and haven’t looked for another. Maybe one of these days…… So glad you have her – covered in cat litter or not and THAT is hysterical! What was she thinking?!
