Spot’s Guide to Purrsonal Grooming

Hello my friends, Spot here!

 

I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend – it’s been a busy one for us, or our hoomins at least, what with going to cat shows and getting the new stock ready for our store 😆 While they’ve been doing that, Lula and I have been making the most of the reasonable weather as no doubt winter will soon be upon us! 😯

 

But you know, all that running around the cat garden does nothing for my fur, so I thought I’d let you all into a few of my spotty secrets for keeping my coat in tip-top condition – after all, it is one of the most recognisable features of a Bengal cat, so it needs to look good!

 

So first of all, I focus on my face and make sure I get into all those hard-to-reach places!

Then it’s on to the tummy and the armpits – it’s a good job I’m not ticklish! 🙂

I think this might also be a yoga pose? 🙂

 

Then it’s back to the face again, I don’t think I did a good enough job the first time around…

Then, I make sure I do behind my ears….

The ears are important 🙂

 

And then, after all that hard work, I just need to strike a pose to show off my clean look! 🙂

Does this show off my good side?

 

What do you think? Did I do a good job?

 

Take care my friends!

Love from Spot

  1. You’ve done a lovely job, but surely you aren’t finished? You still have to do your tail and toes!
    Yes, that’s a good way to show off your good side, which most of us will agree is either side ♥
    Thank you for some Sunday entertainment Spotty 😉

      1. I was wondering the same, but I’m sure, being a kitty, that you got all the ‘spots’ (no pun intended — MOL) you needed to get!!

    1. Ooh yes! We’ve been having a bit of a break from shows, though Lula’s next one isn’t that far away now, first Caturday in October! 😉 xxx

  2. You look purrfect Spot, but then you always do. Love the step by step ablutions, the photos are gorgeous. Were they your Mummy or Daddy’s work? xx ♥ ♥

  3. You did a great job, Spot! But then, you always look handsome! 😀 It fascinates me to watch kitties bathe themselves, and I often wonder if your tongue ever gets tired? LOL Love your post, Spot and I wish you and all of BCW a great week!

  4. Spot, you did a wonderful job!! Kitties are the most pawsome creatures at grooming!! 🙂 I even have a few that like to groom me, even if I just got out of the shower!! :mrgreen: Hope you had a great weekend!! Keep the fabulous pics coming!! <3 <3 <3

  5. Awww dear Spot! You are such a beautiful gentleman and now when you show us how important you are with the cleaning we are even more impressed with you! 😳 I do really think it´s a good side you show us! You are really good at this! 😀 Take care and continue with the good job for your next show! <3

    1. Thanks very much, Betta! My next show is the big one – The Supreme! But it’s not until November so still quite a long way to go 😆 xxx

  6. Spot, gorgeous as always! 😀 I still think your mum and dad should consider writing books for children, just think this one could encourage them to take baths and be handsome like you! ♥

  7. Well Spot, you look as marvellous as ever. You seem to be far more graceful than my kitties with their legs splayed up in the air… Do you and your brothers and sisters wash each other too?

  8. This is just the best pictorial that I remember seeing on how to do a major bathing session! One can never be too clean. You are such a beauty Spot–this must be a big part of staying so handsome! Your friend, Linda xxxxx
