For All The Ladies Of The Canteen

Cats And Water

Let me be the first to explode the notion
That trying to bathe a cat is a caustic potion
We felines like water in moderation On our own terms and under our control

We are not human and don't like suds and bubbles
The scents are nice, but a lot of trouble
Don't even get me started
On water that's too hot or too cold or too deep!

We have tongues that work quite well
To keep us clean and free of smells
That may offend our Humans and ourselves
We've been doing it for centuries before Humans made the scene

So when you have the urge to delve
Into the world of porcelain tubs, glass doors and showers
To make us what Humans consider Squealy Clean
Talk to your Cat before you go off tragically Hugger Mugger

Keeping clean has been our thing for generations
A little is often more than enough of that offensive stuff
We make kick and twist in protestation
And you really don't want to know who taught the "Alien" to be Such a great Face Hugger!
