I wish our cat would go out and get dirty as she has stopped going out and just lives in the house.

I've seen ours rolling in dust but they're black so maybe it doesn't show

My Rio (Ginger) is always clean so I don't think he rolls in anything.

Unfortunately I can't say the same for the dogs.

Well he's the only 1 of our 4 who goes & does it, the others occasionally come in with the odd bit of oil or tree sap on them & the 1 seems to love picking fights comes back in scars ect but 1 lives in the barn & is never dirty.

This 1 in the picture Norman is the naughtiest & is 1 of the big hunters & catches a rabbit every day & the odd, mouse, shrew, vole & often comes back with a face covered in blood / mud ect. He plays with my rather large dog - for example chewing on him & swatting his tail & the dog loves it. If you don't wake up he'll bite your fingers / toes & swat your face & go under the covers to make you cold. If he wan'ts food or to get in he screeches at you from our porch / kitchen door & of he can't get in that way he can get in the hole in our cellar door by our kitchen & took a great pleasure a few weeks ago running up behind & past me like a rocket up our stone cellar steps nearly causing me to fall! (Don't wan't a repeat of falling down stairs thank you! - for those of you that know I fell down some at home this year tearing all my right ankle ligaments & was on crutches for 3 months!) But he was sat at the top purring & wanting cuddles

what quirks do yours have? x

I live next to a railway line but I can't see it as there is a 10 foot wooden barrier. I am often stopped and warned that Rio is walking on the rails of the track. Head up Tail straight up, sauntering along - he visits a field of horses half a mile up the road - loves them as he was brought up with them. I just say I'd rather he did that than play alongside as he'll feel the train coming before he hears it. Hope I'm right!

But there's nothing I can do to stop him anyway.

I had a cat that used to go to the train station every morning and walk on the lines, he died of natural causes when he was quiet young, 9 but I also worried about him, I think they find lots of mice and things around the lines......As for dirt, our Yellow lab always goes deep into mud, she always looks dirty until we get home then she is clean again, her coat must be self cleaning!!
