Bath time? I've got it licked: Hoover the cat gives baby a good wash with his tongue
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 16, 2014 | James Nye

Adorable video of a one-year-old girl from California being given a bath by her favorite family cat has caused the Internet to let out a collective 'ahhh'. Little Hazel was caught snuggling up to Hoover the cat in her crib by mom and dad, Dennis and Jen Wijnker and they couldn't help but film the tender treatment the cat gave to his favorite human. Originally sent to Hazel's grandparents, the video was uploaded to YouTube where it has quickly racked up almost 50,000 views since it was posted on Monday.

I used to have a wonderful Blue Persian, “Dusty”, who’d lick the end of my/anyone’s nose off if you’d just hold her up in front of your face. She was a sweetheart.

That is amazing! I fear the man could be hurt just in play but how much fun would it be to play with a lion like that!

Did it “wash” the baby before, or after it licked its own a$$? Oh wait, cats and dogs are always licking their a$$es, so the answer is - both. Why not just apply the cat feces directly? Used kitty litter is a fine abrasive. That would make the baby even cleaner. O.o

Well, I see Jack the Downer has joined the thread. Every party has its pooper (another word for feces) that’s why we invited you ... party pooper, party pooper.

Probably not a good idea to have a baby licked by a cat.

Here's a closeup of a cat's tongue:

Glad you liked the pun too. Hoover! Not just the name of a President.....

Your Persian sounds like she was a great kitty.

You can find a different variety of cooties on the human tongue. Moral of the story, don’t drool on your baby.

I love my cat but would not allow him to be in the crib with my baby. I read somewhere that letting a cat lick your eyes was dangerous.

It looks like the kitteh is tenderizing the meat before it eats it. I’ve got a kitteh whose tongue is like 68 grit sandpaper.
Wouldn’t you know it’s a tuxedo kitteh; they seem to be the smartest in my experience.
