I wish humans could learn to wash as often as I do - and to do a more thorough job. I clean every area of my body at least three or four times daily.
Indeed about 20% of my time is spent washing myself - my tail, my paws, my back, my belly and those intimate areas that I reach by pushing one leg in the air while balancing on my backside.
Humans can't do that.
Instead they wallow in water in a bath sometimes for hours, or what seems like hours. Too long I think.

Picked up as a stray, Caesar has a good wash |
The impatient ones step into a shower and spend perhaps 10 minutes or so washing. Not enough time, I think.
I could teach my human how to do a better job, just using her tongue. she could start with her toes and move upwards....

Don't forget the tail |
Only she can't. She is just not flexible enough. And her tongue doesn't have those little hooks that mine does.
She has a pathetic tongue. It is sort of floppy and smooth on the surface. No good for washing fur and not much use even for the bald human skin.
Sad...
