 THE ONE IN THE WHITE TOWEL THOUGH

It’s a box full of purritos

Why are those kittens wrapped in towels?

Hazarding a guess: they were all just given a bath. (Based on water on the edge of the tub they’re in.)

Why would that mean they’d have to be wrapped in towels?

To dry them off and not have to worry about the rest of the house, I expect.

That’s all I’ve got on this one. I don’t think cats need baths unless they’re ill or otherwise unable to clean themselves properly, so I don’t quite get it anyway.

Sometimes they manage to get themselves really filthy though. Fey used to climb inside dumpsters and root around in there. She always got an instant bath when she got home. No way a cat can clean that off themselves.

Also, bathing cats helps people with asthma and allergies because it removes some of the dander that flakes of on their fur.

It can also help with temperature regulation on really hot days. And some cats like it. I have a cat who jumps hopefully into the bathtub several times a day, and will spend a long time playing happily in the water before he decides he’s done and jumps out. He doesn’t like it deeper than a few centimetres, but it’s his favourite thing to do.

Oh also sometimes you have to towel wrap cats to keep them from testing you to shreds while giving them medications or other treatments.
