Felix’s Spa Day: A Purr-fect Day of Grooming
In Felix’s Spa Day: A Purr-fect Day of Grooming, host Ferne Corrigan takes us along as Felix the station cat goes for a special grooming session! At the groomer, Felix gets her fur carefully shaved to remove any painful knots and tangles, and then enjoys a bubbly bath — her very own spa day! After a gentle blow-dry and brush, Felix is all clean and ready to head back to work at the train station! This video is excerpted from BBC’s My Pet and Me, a children’s show that introduces kids to the rewards and responsibilities involved when having a pet.
Lesson Express
Q: Why do some cats, like Felix, need extra help from a groomer even though they groom themselves by licking?
A: Cats like Felix may need extra grooming when their fur gets very dirty, tangled, or matted. Licking can only clean so much, and knots can be painful, so a groomer helps get rid of these to keep the cat comfortable.
Q: Why is it important for the groomer to check Felix’s paws, especially since she goes outside?
A: Outdoor cats like Felix might step on sharp things that could hurt their paws, like glass or splinters. Checking her paws ensures there are no cuts or painful things that are stuck, so she can walk and play without pain.
Q: Why might some cats not enjoy water, even though Felix seems comfortable with it?
A: Cats might not enjoy water because it feels strange to them, and their fur can get heavy and cold when wet. Felix is used to baths, so she doesn’t mind as much, but most cats prefer grooming themselves and staying dry.
