Tiny Gray Maine Coon Kitten Is the Soggiest Sweetheart After a Bath from Mom originally appeared on Parade Pets.
If you've ever seen a kitten look both pitiful and precious at the same time, you're not alone. One tiny gray Maine Coon kitten recently got a loving bath from his mom, named Tina, and the results were as soggy as they were heart melting. With floof flattened and wide eyes full of confusion, this little puffball became the ultimate bath-time soggy sweetheart.
Just look at the before and after of what bath time resulted in!
The darling video was shared to the TikTok account for @ and this tiny baby is just too cute and too soggy for words! We can't decide what is cuter, the before or the very wet after!If you've ever seen a mama cat, like Tina above, you may have wondered why mama cats lick their babies so much.
Live Science reports that Kristyn Vitale, an assistant professor of animal health and behavior at Unity College in Maine, explains, "Licking of kittens actually plays a vital role in kitten survival," Vitale said. "Very young kittens are unable to urinate or defecate on their own. The mother will lick the genital region of her kittens in order to stimulate them to go to the bathroom." Additionally, "The mother licks her kittens to soothe them and keep them clean," Vitale explained. "Anyone who has raised orphaned kittens knows it is a full-time job trying to keep a newborn kitten's fur clean."
Well, this is one newborn kitten who we are pretty sure is near spotless, thanks to Tina!
One person commented, "Dang, she even licked off his last brain cells." Awww, LOL!
Another person replied, "That's a soggy baby… good job Mama, LOL."
Someone else responded, "I think my mom went to the same cosmetology school as your cat."
And last but not least, someone else said, "As soon as that kitten dries up, it's gonna smell like sunshine and sugar cookies."
That is so true! Clean baby kittens always smell the absolute best!
