My baby has this thing that no matter what he’s doing or where he is.. if you hold up his foot or tail to his mouth he’ll just start chewing

I recently had a foster kitten who stopped grooming himself because he was sick. We went to the vet and got medicine and now he feels better. Seeing him groom himself now makes me incredibly happy because I know he’s feeling healthy. So yes! I get a kick out of seeing a cat groom himself. That’s a guy who knows he’s safe and loved!

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 07 '25

That’s very sweet! Thank you for sharing that!

Gotta keep those beans clean

u/CuteFactor8994 Feb 07 '25 edited Feb 07 '25

It's cute when they separate their toes to get in between those hard-to-reach areas! 🐾 🐾 🐾

u/ilovesushialot Feb 07 '25

To be honest I'm getting more of a kick out of the fact that this cat has a pearl necklace!

u/WingDingusTheGreat Feb 07 '25

I always tell my cat to "chew those feets" when she's cleaning em

u/Darrenwad3 Feb 07 '25

How they snort and gnaw at them

u/ArabellaFort Feb 07 '25

Tuxedo AND pearls. Someone’s going to a very formal event 😻

u/nottie01 Feb 07 '25

Also when they bite their own nails, 😜

u/moonlessphoto Feb 07 '25

Can’t forget the asmr

u/Street_Objective_893 Feb 07 '25

Super clean toes baby

u/Lopsided_Blacksmith5 Feb 07 '25

That cat is going to town on them toes.

4

u/VonAdder Feb 07 '25

OK I'll say it. The 'pearls' around the neck I assume are not worn all the time? These are potentially dangerous, as they are loose the cat could strangle itself in a panic if they get caught up. Preferably cats should never wear collars and while I get the aesthetics for the post. You should remove them.

u/Straight-Amount-8341 Feb 07 '25

What a classy little lady with her pearls

u/Normal-Ad-9852 Feb 07 '25

yes, sometimes I laugh at him and he looks at me like 🧐

u/rigathrow Feb 07 '25

i love watching her clean da beans. she takes it so seriously, you can see the concentration and determination on her face 😂

3

u/psychokittenparty ⭐TOP POSTER⭐ Feb 07 '25

When my cat does, I sing the tiny toe song. It's a song I made up about cat toe beans. It's utterly ridiculous, but we value it.

u/Pure_Love4720 Feb 07 '25

Yes I love their little Chicken feet

1

u/hellaxninja Feb 07 '25

Yes 🙌 my bf and I call them chicken toes, and have wondered if other people refer to them as such, or if we’re just weird 😂

2

u/Pure_Love4720 Feb 07 '25

Haha my husband called them chicken feet and I thought it was so… accurate? And hilarious. So it never dropped. I conclude we are all weird together 🙃

2

u/MonachopsisEternal Feb 07 '25

It is hypnotic watch at times, especially if they get a knot

2

u/jailasauraa Feb 07 '25

Mine sounds like he's trying to eat his own toes, makes this snarling noise and it tickles me every time...

u/Kwagga75 Feb 07 '25 edited Feb 07 '25

And first morning exercises Yoga - Cat-anastics, lol! 🤣❤️😸❤️🌟🌹

u/hothotsoup02 Feb 07 '25

I love to watch mine bite in between her toes cuz it feels like she's rlly getting rid of all that gunk... it's like a cat exfoliation

2

u/dertok Feb 07 '25

It's the chewing I really like, when they really lean into it

2

u/Screaming_lambs Feb 07 '25

I normally say "ooooh clean toes!"

2

u/verticalburtvert Feb 07 '25

I cheer mine on to disrupt his chain of one thought. He freezes and stares at me, sometimes with his foot still in his mouth. Just thinking about it makes me wish I was home right now.

2

u/rgent006 Feb 07 '25

Did someone say toes???

2

u/Calicko44 Feb 07 '25

YES. Watching Murphy spread his toes apart is so funny. He licks, then bites those toenails and pulls hard. I guess he just likes biting his nails. I like watching my cats do everything, not just sleep. Lol.

2

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Agree! It’s all entertaining!

2

u/rileyswords Feb 07 '25

Funny you should ask - took this picture two days ago (great minds)

2

u/Blackletterdragon Feb 07 '25

I love the noise they make when they really go for it. Snarf snarf!

2

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Ha ha yes! Good onomatopoeia for that sound!

2

u/jemcat9 Feb 07 '25

Yep, luv it. We have a song..."toe beans, ya got those toe beans, toe beans, nice pink toe beans"! Not going to the Grammys any time soon tho.

2

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Oh, that’s wonderful! I have loads of songs about my cats as well. I think you’ve inspired me to write one about cleaning the toes! Wish I could hear your melody to this one!

u/Gypseyeyes-1973 Feb 07 '25

It’s the best part of the whole bath! I especially love it when they get onto doing their nails- you know the move like they hook a tooth behind it and scrape! Disgusting yet wholesome to watch!

1

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Ha ha, yes! So good! The ripping of the toes is so satisfying🤭

2

u/Zealousideal_Bus3581 Feb 08 '25

Watching my cat groom is my asmr

1

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Hey, I think you’re onto something…. although there’s probably already a whole website dedicated to that.🫠

2

u/Magpie2205 Feb 08 '25

In our house, we call it “mmmmm, toes, breakfast of champions.” And it doesn’t matter what time of day it is lol

1

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Hahaha😂😂😂

u/DogMom814 Feb 07 '25

Lol I've always loved that but thought I was being weird for thinking it's cute.

1

u/EntrepreneurOld6453 Feb 07 '25

It's when they open up their toes and livk the gaps between!! So weird and I can't stop watching!

u/kabes222 Feb 07 '25

I LOVE THE TOE SNACCS!

u/Lunakiri Feb 07 '25

Meeeee

Also watching my kitty clean the tip of his tail is a treat too~

1

u/Snoozinsioux Feb 07 '25

We know it’s serious deep sleep nap time when the beans are washed.

u/Mehitobel Feb 07 '25

Such sweet pearls on a lovely lady! 🖤

u/Upset_Car_6982 Feb 07 '25

mine loves me rubbing her paws..spread her toes scratch between..she starts purring immediately ❤️🕶

u/isla_is Feb 07 '25

Reading as I listen to my tuxie grooming her toe beans in perfect sync to the video.

1

u/Derivgal Feb 07 '25

And sharpen them murder mittens!

1

u/redratchaser Feb 07 '25

A kick is better than a scratch! 😻

1

u/Sweet-Minute-3620 Feb 07 '25

Yes, but at least the paws are all clean, the nails too and the pads are very pink ❤️

1

u/PerpetualEternal Feb 07 '25

Simultaneously gross and adorable. Grodorable? Adoross?

1

u/_DeepKitchen_ Feb 07 '25

Yes! It’s my favorite to watch. I feel like it’s probably what I would spend a lot of time doing if I was a cat🐱

1

u/Commercial-Name-3602 Feb 07 '25

They gotta clean the poop and the crud outta there somehow lol....

1

u/athanathios Feb 07 '25

What a sweet precious baby you got!

1

u/misselphaba Feb 07 '25

This and also a face bath gets me right in the heart. I love the way they rub their lil paws on their snoots 🥰

1

u/specialopps Feb 07 '25

I try to catch a phone of his beans, but he strikes a pose instead!

1

u/Beneficienttorpedo9 Feb 07 '25

My late tuxedo had a little black spot on his nose like yours when he was young. I told him it looked like he had a black booger. As he got older, all the pink gradually turned black. And he groomed his toes all the time like this, which made me smile. I miss him.

2

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Oh, that’s very sweet! I learned that that black spot is called a “snip” the same term they give for horses that have marks on their nose.

1

u/tikkikittie Feb 07 '25

ABSOLUTELY

1

u/TheGamingLibrarian Feb 07 '25

Ours is so loud when he cleans them!😂

1

u/libniii Feb 07 '25

Absolutely! Lol mine tries to take his mittens off sometimes

1

u/Sludgenet123 Feb 08 '25

My M tabby Kanga licks everyones toes at my house. Licks sweat off drink cups and glasses as well. Little weirdo.

u/MissKittySaphireMoon Feb 09 '25

Ha ha cats are so weird!
