In our relationship, it’s always Pixie who comes to get hugs or asks me to give her a bath.
I gladly do it : I start with the ears…
… I continue with the top and back of the head…
… but sometimes I get a little excited, and my approach looks more and more like a wrestling match.
Pixie tries to break free, I get clutchy, she squirms, and finally, it ends like this !
Do grooming sessions ever turn into wrestling at your home ?
Thank goodness you love each other. Even better that humans don’t end up with their beauty sessions ending that way, too, MOL
Eric and Flynn’s grooming always ended up as a wrassle.
It is very nice that you give Pixie her bath. The smacky claws are not so nice though 😉
JJ is the bath giver here.

This is why I don’t like Binga grooming me!
You both were having fun for a while!!!
Yeah, me and Derbs used to get into a scuffle now and then after the bath. He liked to bath me more than I liked to bath him.
Hee! Hee! When I want to wrestle and Ninja is laying on the sofa, I jump up and start cleaning his ears…after about 4 licks I BITE!
THe Wrestle Match begins!

MOL! Wrestling happens randomly here, not always or necessarily at bath time. Cute pictures, especially the last one with the claws out – good job!
Oh yes, we usually end up in a wrestling match. That is what fun is all about. You all have a great evening.
This series of pictures is SO cute!!!
Oh yeah, that wresting after grooming thing happens here sometimes here, too!
we love tha last photo… it shows how it ends… always LOL
Well since I don’t have a brother or sister to share bathing experiences with, I have my Mom taking care of those things with the wicked brush. I will allow it to a point then things get a little “clutch and bitey” so these grooming sessions are SHORT!
Hugs, Teddy
It’s all good until the Smackdown starts!

OMC! You try to do something nice…MOL! I have a feeling that is what Pierre feels like doing when he gets groomed.
Goodness! That does look a bit like some of our wrestling… er, baths. We meant to say baths. Honest!
Yep, that’s what Da Boyz doe…lick lick lick, bite bite bite!
not so much wrestling matches as play fights – often Frodo wants to play but after a nice bath in front of the fire Zulu just wants to sleep!
Sammi and I never groomed each other. She wasn’t that friendly towards other kitties. Zorro, you’re just too enthusiastic for Pixie.
Zorro, the exact same thing happens with me and Izzy!

That is so sweet. My cats don’t groom one another- I wish they did. XO
I read somewhere that the grooming cat is the dominant one – and the resulting disagreement is partly due to that. I see it here with Bear and Ellie. Bear’s dominant and starts to groom her and after a while, she flips out and swipes at him and then they go at it!
Since I am the only kitty here, I don’t have anyone to give me a bath. Love, Cody
I don’t know, Zorro and Pixie, I have to come over for a bath to see what happens 😀 Clean Pawkisses for the both of you 🙂 <3
