Bathing Licorice

It’s always a bit disheartening to come home to the unmistakable odor of poop in the house. Usually our fosters don’t smell bad, so if we actually smell something, it means that either:
- someone has pooped outside the litter box
- someone has had runny poo
- someone has gotten poo on their fur and will need a bath to get rid of the smell completely.
Guess which one happened yesterday? We check the enclosure, all visible poo is nicely covered in the litterbox. Next we let out each kitten and do the “sniff test”. Our lucky winner was Licorice. Somehow he got poo ON HIS HEAD. He had cleaned most of it off, but his head and ears were still crusty.
How does that happen? Our theory is that someone didn’t cover their poo, then Licorice ran into the litter box, got tackled, and ended up headfirst in the ick. Poor guy.
The first bath is always the most exciting. Licorice was doing OK for a while, but then suddenly he had HAD ENOUGH and yowled. Luna came out of the enclosure and mewed at us, obviously concerned. We quickly finished up and snuggled Licorice in a towel.
The truth is that they need to be in homes. The space we have for them is just too small, they need room to play! Please spread the word to anyone who is looking for a cat!
