Directed by: Aleksandr Medvedkin
Synopsis: One of the Cinetrain films by Medvedkin which focuses on cleanliness.
Kitty Cameo: The silent short film begins with a close up of a gray tabby cat preening itself. This is interspersed with a man wiping his face.
The film of the cat is flipped for one moment.
The cat returns later, once again preening.
The film is frozen on the cat with its mouth open, as if it is staring agape at the men trying to get clean.
Final Mewsings: Cats know cleanliness is next to godliness, even in a communist country.
