If you have a pet at home, there's probably been a time when you did something totally random that didn't seem like a big deal...until they decided it was something they wanted you to do forever. Like kids, pets have a funny way of remembering exactly the things they like. For TikToker Sparkle_Fart's cat, that "thing" is Mom using a wet wipe on her bum. Now, every time she hears the package open, she comes running.
Cats are famous for being meticulous groomers, so it's pretty funny that this pampered kitty has apparently decided one part of the job is perfect for Mom to handle. Their unexpected new routine has viewers laughing out loud, with many joking that the cat has officially outsourced her personal grooming duties.
Mom wondered in the caption, "How did we even get here?" and we're all asking the same question!

Why Some Cats Ask Their Humans for Grooming Help
Commenters got a kick out of the cat's willingness to let Mom handle the cleanup and had plenty of funny things to say about it. @Hobi noticed, "Her cleaning her toes simultaneously lol!!! Teamwork!"
Another viewer wrote, "She lays down and kicks a leg up? She is such a queen." @blueyedevil joked, "She's so plump she cant reach back there mama!"
While most cats do an excellent job grooming themselves, some genuinely need a little help. Cats with mobility or health issues, those carrying extra weight, and even long-haired cats can't always reach every spot that needs cleaning.
Then there are cats like this one, who seem to have figured out that if their human is willing to take care of the less glamorous parts of the job…why do it themselves? There are also those hard-to-reach spots, like the back of their head, neck, and, booty, that are just easier to let their humans handle. Besides, it comes with a little extra attention, which is never a bad thing.
We're not sure if Mom realizes this or not, but that cat has her trained to do the dirty work!
