Holi-er than thou!



 
As we all recuperate from the mad fun that Holi brings with it...here are a few snapshots to reminisce with :)

Some of them avoided the water (like some dogs tend to), and a few couldn't get enough of it!!

I'm stuck in this perpetual cycle of 'study' and I'm missing out on all the fun stuff."  Dr. Woofinton, a seasoned professional with a flair for fur-related drama, leaned back on his comfy dog bed and raised an eyebrow—err, I mean, an ear.  Dr. Woofinton: "Ah, Simba, my furry friend.

Its true, most cats are cleanliness freak and spend up to 50 percent of their awake time indulging in some form of cat grooming. What we should know is cats licking themselves is actually good for their skin. It maintains healthy skin by stimulating the production of sebum, an oily secretion produced by sebaceous glands at the base of each hair. Licking spreads sebum over the hair coat to lubricate and waterproof the fur and make it shine. It also removes loose hair and prevents mats, and removes dirt and parasites like fleas.
