Laundry Duty

Mr B calls it 'socks and balaclava'...


F's boss has obviously never done his own washing - he observed my ablutions and said I was licking my arm to use as a brush on my ears (I use it as a wash cloth - silly!  Brushing is something else altogether, and I delegate to F responsibility for wielding the brush.)

Sometimes the laundry process is 'socks and undies'.

Sometimes I wash my overalls. (Some people call their overalls a 'onesie' but something about that word suggests clothing you shouldn't be seen dead in.)

The best time for doing laundry is after my humans have gone to bed.  I climb onto the bed between them and do some laundry before I settle down to sleep. Apparently it is NOT the most endearing of my habits - I can't think why.  A wash before bedtime should be a universal requirement - goodness knows what dirt of the day you would take to bed with you if you didn't.

  1. Tigger, I just wish my muddy ditch loving pup would take a leaf out of your book on the personal cleanliness front...
    Cheers! Gail.

    1. Has Nobby not mentioned the benefits of a good slathering in mud? There are places that even humans can go to take a bath in the 'restorative' mud. My humans tell me that the mud from the River Orwell at Pin Mill used to be such a place back in history. In recent years the only place they have encountered it was at a special 'health' spa in Estonia. Having said that there are various mud preparations that human women can stick on their faces - it looks funny even if it achieves nothing else. xxx Mr T

    1. My huMum is a wash her feet, hands and face before bed kinda person, but given that within the previous couple of hours she had probably been immersed in the sea and washed the salt off afterwards, a more thorough cleansing would possibly be excessive. Fz & Pz Mr T

  3. No yet has mentioned how absolutely precious you look washing your laundry. I must say, washing in bed with me would not be happening. No furry four footed sweeties allow in bed with da mama. da daddy would if he could but here da mama is in charge or they Pay The Price. I share everything I have but my sleep. I do get up if a huge head reaches up on the bed and flings my arm into the air. that means open the door woman.

  4. Thank you for a trip down memory lane Tigger. A guaranteed way to lower my bp was to watch my ‘dearly departed feline friends’ wash their faces and behind their ears. So placidly - so methodical - first one side, then the other.

  5. I always found it interesting to watch the cats wash themselves and always wondered how much fur is ingested until I see that blech hair ball on the carpet somewhere. That’s a big price to pay, isn’t it?

    1. I don't do furballs. No one knows why not. F rakes out a lot more of my fur than my tongue does.

  6. How silly are your humans? OF COURSE you have to have a good laundry done before you settle down in Sleepland :)

  8. F has a boss? I think F should be the boss by the sounds of it or maybe Mr T would do a good job
