Since I have the cat show meet and greet to do, I have to get a bath and groom. It’s not my favorite part of being a public cat, but I’m pretty good about it. This is a rare photo of my human rinsing me off. She managed to have one hand free to hold the iPhone. Which, really, is a testament to my cooperation since I stood there for her.
She really didn’t spend a lot of time with photos during the bath. She knows it’s the part of grooming I like the least, so she tries to get it over with as quickly as possible. Once I’m towel dried, I get a spray on detangler especially for cat fur. Then she carefully and gently combs out my fur.
The blow dry and comb out take a while. Except for this photo, when my human has the blow dryer pointed towards my head, she tries to protect my ears. That’s the one place that that blow dryer bothers me. Well, you wouldn’t want air blasting in your ears either, right? Sometimes she’ll cover my ears with one hand while blow drying my neck with the other.
The rest of the blow dry is pretty easy. I tend to walk around a little on the counter, which makes it hard for my human to blow dry my rear end. Eventually, I’ll stand still because I kind of like it.
I help out a little too.
It takes about 45 minutes to an hour for my whole grooming session. But the result is worth it!
I think we both deserve high fives when we’re done!
And maybe a little bit of a raspberry for my human.

You sure look beautiful after your bath, Summer. And your tail is mighty fluffy now, haha.
You are just the cutest, Summer.
Getting ready for a show must be a lot of work for both humans and kitties
I showed Household Pets and they weren’t keen on baths but I did the best I could with them, you’re so beautiful, Summer and such a good girl, ❤️
You were furry good, Summer. We don’t think We would tolerate such treatment!!!
You look so ready!!!
You are very good for your bath, Summer. When you were having your pantaloons dried you really did have the wind up your tail!
You are such a good kitty. If I tried that with any of my cats ( even Joanie), I would need stitches. XO
When Mom was showing cats, she had to bathe them too.
I bet you do smell good afterwards. Looks like a lot of
cooperation from you. Makes it an easy job. Hope you are
having a great day at the show.
Summer, you do tolerate those sessions quite well!
Truth be told, I would give my person a big raspberry too!!
Purrs, Julie
