Snowball where are you? I want to bathe you

Why would you name that cat Snowball?

-_- is that a cat i see? No never mind, I'm a bit tired

Snow ball and the cat is black

According to the title (since some don't seem to understand): Snowball meaning the cat is actually white and is now so dirty, his fur is black. That's why the owner wants to bath him and the cat is hiding.
