Thor’s very bad day

Thor's very bad day

So one day instead of napping for 16 hours, Thor (an indoor cat) decided to slip out of the house when I left for work. Sadly, no one noticed he was AWOL until I returned that afternoon. Though it was April, it had rained, snowed and hailed that day.

When we discovered his absence I called to him for the front door and he came running. Apparently, he'd taken refuge under my husband's project car. Thor reeked of motor oil or gasoline. A bath was in order.

Have you ever bathed a cat?
