Bathus Interruptus
TweetWhen bathing, cats twist and bend themselves into some amazing — one might even say awkward — positions. Positions that nearly destroy the myth of feline elegance.
For example, look at normally dignified and refined kitties Athena and Dawn.
Athena reaches every part.
Dawn is not happy to be caught mid-bath.
The funniest moments — and probably most embarrassing to feline sensibilities — are when a cat is deep in the grooming groove, attending to furs that must be arranged just so, when… BIRD!
Their brains switch from graceful groomer to hyper-focused hunter in nanoseconds. The result is a cat frozen in a bizarre position while mesmerized by a chirping sparrow.
Elsa Clair was in the middle of a lovely bath when a bird landed on the porch roof just outside her window.
I happened to catch Elsa Clair get distracted while working a particularly intricate area of her body. The result is the amusing 12 video below.
What’s the funniest position you’ve ever caught your pet in?

I’m so taking my cat outside today. It’s gorgeous in the PNW and there are tons of birds around (and even a duck). He’ll be chirping like crazy 🙂
Cats are yoga masters AND mighty hunters at the same time. Amazing, hmm ? Purrs
Elsa Clair is so funny in her distraction. Mom can’t remember seeing any of us stop mid-bath to look at something without first composing ourselves. And if it’s happened, we’re not telling. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo
