We have a large driveway/parking area on the side of our house. My darling cat likes to go out and roll in the dirt. Then, she walks aroung like pigpen from the Peanuts cartoon with a cloud of dust following her.

Yesterday before she went out we had a long talk about how she tracks dirt into the house when she rolls in the dust and that she is not as soft and silky to pet because of the dirt on her coat. She meowed her understanding so I let her out with confidence.

The first things she did is run to the driveway and roll in the dirt. I don't know why I waste my breath.
