I finally caught Hiro licking Suki on camera. Normally they always stop being cute with each other as soon as I get my camera or cellphone out. The quality isn’t great, it was taken with my cellphone! But look how adorable they are!
What?
Cleaning or Loving?
How great to catch them! Ours usually proceed to fight after the licking.
Oh no, first there is a fight, and then the licking and grooming each other!
mollie and alfie
They look horrified that they were caught
I love it when cats clean each other like that. I’m sure it’s a bit of both – cleaning and loving. They have to love each other to do that, surely.
Awww they’re super cute! =^.^=
It’s a problem with our cats – they seem to have “camera radar” and just when we think we’ve got the perfect shot – WHAMMO – off they go! This is really adorable though!!
Pam
Yep, that’s a typical cat thing! Camera radar they have!
Love it!
Thanks!
they were playing “Bitey Face” but those photos are just too cute! Especially the last one
Like they feel busted!
Everything everybody says above, repeated! (including the “what,” although Barney is usually a bit more accommodating than Bugs) This post is a birthday present for me. LOVELY! And a p.s. — ours is usually lick-bite-wallop-fur-fly. I read somewhere it’s part companionship/comfort and part dominance on the part of the guy who started it. Who knows. We are dealing with cats, after all. paw-waves.
It’s your BIRTHDAY?!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! yaaaaaaaaay! dance around the candles! have an umbrella drink wearin’ your jammies!
That is so cute:-)
Hihi, thanks Misaki!
Love that last picture! You captioned it perfectly!
Just in time!
uncooperative lot, those cats! >:-D
Ha! That sure is adorable. Sorry we interrupted you, guys!
Oink oink,
Katie and Coccolino the mini pig
Love this! What a capture worth waiting for. XXXOOO
So sweet, especially as it did not end in an ear- and neck-biting, wrestling match. That’s how we like to end our bathing sessions, at least sibs Mauricio and Misty May do. Thanks for letting your mom snap these photos. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
The last photo are so funny!
Haha, thanks!
Awww they’re photogenic hehe
Cleaning or loving? Possibly both.
I once saw a cat violently pushing and holding another cat to the ground so she could lick her. “I must clean you!”. They probably do it because they have affection for each other in the first place, I sure don’t imagine cats which cannot stand each other which would clean each other.
Have you noticed how they usually clean spots which are hard to clean on themselves, like the ears and the neck? Somehow, they do it out of necessity, though cats are able to do it anyway if they are left alone.
I suppose it’s both. Cleaning, because it easier this way, and loving, because they wouldn’t clean a cat they don’t like.
Sounds like Suki & Hiro!
Haha, yea, Hiro often cleans Suki’s ears. Like he’s trying to say that her ears aren’t clean enough!
That’s really so beautiful! I love the last picture…
The last picture made me laugh
That one is priceless!
Awww. adorables! they are camera shy.
My Miaolings never bathe each other. They get nibbly and start playing/fighting (depending on your perspective).
Yea, fighting here too!
They are adorable.
They are so cute!
They are!
Looks like somebody disturbed them.. lol .. very cute
Awww…so cute
Hahaha – that last photo is SO like how it goes with our cats. The “What?” is perfect.
