This morning, I was in a VERY good mood, so I allowed my 2-foot (the one with the fur on the top of her head) to take me upstairs and put me on that bed thing that they sleep on. Well The other 2-foot was still in the bed thing and I really enjoyed it when they both made a fuss of me... That is until the 2-foot (the one with no fur on the top of his head) lifted his arm up WHAT A STINK!!! It smelt like something had crawled into his armpit and died!
Anyway, to cut a long story short, after he went and splashed about in the water, the awful smell went away, so that must be why they do it, but why they don't just lick themselves clean like we do totally baffles me.
