We are ginger and white brothers and enjoy sharing our adventures together walking in the fields. Sadly Eric left for the Rainbow Bridge on 19.03.2013. I joined my brother on 1st May 2017 so now we are together again for all time.

There I was.........

relaxing in the grass enjoying the sun.......

when suddenly I saw it!

I had to sit up to have a better look.

Look at the state of you Dougal!

Go and give yourself a bath! No self respecting kitty would ever let themselves be seen looking like that.

Can Dougal reach around with his tongue to groom himself? Maybe he needs you to show him how it's done.

Has Dougal be hanging out in a big puddle somewhere? If it is as hot there as it is here, that would start to sound like a relly good idea.

Dougal must not be a self-respecting horsie. Plus, they depend on a bean to help make them clean.

He doesn't look a bit shamed, Flynn. Best try another tactic!

Oh Dougal, you sure are on top of your world. Flynn, horses love to roll in the dusty dirt......seems to us we have also seen a couple of orange and white brothers dust rolling too!
Thank you for our birthday wishes, Tinker and Tang=^Y^=

Maybe sumkitty could help him out and give him a baff, Flynn? It might take a pretty long time but I'm sure he'd be grateful.

Hey--You are Viceroy of Cow Hollow, now Buddy.

We think Dougal saw you rolling in the dirt and it looks so refreshing, he decided to do it too. Boy, look at the feets on that dude!

Now Flynn, horses have to have human help with their baths! Maybe you could give some advice on how to stay clean, though :)

It does look like Dougal might have treated himself to a roll on the ground and had a dust bath - but you are right, Flynn, he needs a proper bath now.

I wonder why Dougal got into that state? Is he troubled with other matters perhaps? xox

Blogger Kari said...

Poor Dougal. He can't get himself into the positions we cats can so self grooming is a bit of a problem for him.
We know you'd love to help him but you would wear your tongue down to nothing before you finished even a quarter of him!
Lots of love to you both.

We've never seen one of those in the flesh before. It looks pretty big and scary. There's supposed to be a pony buried in our back yard, but he's been there about 100 years, so we're not scared of him.

Dirty Dougal, hahameow! Teri had a friend who was a blacksmith and he had a calico cat in his shop and while he was always black and sooty, she somehow kept herself groomed to purrfection!.
