Not all cats can be this fancy.

Amanda Barron's cat Salem loves bathtubs. Unfortunately for Barron, this means he also loves to jump into the tub almost as soon as she isn't using it -- whether it's clean or not.

After Barron used an Intergalactic bath bomb from Lush (one of the company's more glitter-packed bath bombs that leaves a terrible mess behind), Salem jumped into the tub before his owner could fully rinse it.

The results were magical. Or mortifying, depending on your perspective.

Barron has posted several videos on YouTube of Salem playfully rolling in the bathtub glitter, getting thoroughly covered from head to tail.

Barron had to give Salem a bath once he was done giving himself the world's best feline highlight.

Salem was less happy about that.

Lush only uses safe synthetics and their products are free of animal testing. According to Buzzfeed, the glitter is made with seaweed and is not harmful to animals as well.

Don't ever dull your sparkle, Salem, we will always remember you in your glittery form.
