Kitten tries to skip bath time, mom says no
The kitten has somewhere else to be. Mom disagrees, and she's not one to give up. more
It happens in a bright room at home, with pale, fluffy kittens and a mother who talks to them as she works. She keeps up a run of soft trills, the chirpy little sound mother cats make for their babies.
Up close, one of the kittens is barely a handful. All fluff, with two big dark eyes looking up. Mom has plans for that fluff, and they involve her tongue.
SaveShe washes thoroughly. The kitten squirms and wriggles and tries to get away, more than once. Mom carries on, trilling as she goes. This kitten is getting clean, and the kitten doesn't get a vote.
It's not all wrestling. A kitten tries to climb into her lap to be cuddled, and at one point she has the babies tucked warm in her fur while she licks them.
