The king cleans cat tonight

This is Mack Roesch. He’s the self-dubbed “King of Obstacles.” Mack competed in Atlanta on season eight of American Ninja Warrior. He made it all the way to the National Finals in Las Vegas.

His bid for Mt. Midoriyama came to an end at the Jumping Spider on Stage One.
Can we get a round of applause for @MackRoesch keeping his crown on his head during this? #americanNinjaWarrior pic.twitter.com/e3QfhlYA4q

On Monday, in an act of pure generosity, Mack gave his cat a bath and broadcast it on Facebook Live so we could all watch. It was the perfect calming, random, soothing gift to anyone just getting back to work after the holidays.
This is Coco. (Who had been hiding under the toilet.) Coco picked up a few fleas and needed a scrub-a-dub.

“I’m trying to nurture the cat. Tell him he’s doing good.”

The brushing of Coco was... hypnotic.

Coco received a loving and tender wash, followed by a relaxing towel massage to dry him off.

“Breathe, kitty. Breathe.”

“Thank you all for your support, watching me clean this cat.”
