CATDOLL : Why do cats lick their fur every day?

Reasons why cats lick their fur:

1. Cats can remove dust and dirt from their bodies by licking their fur, so that their bodies can stay clean for a longer period of time. Licking their fur can also keep their fur smoother and prevent it from lumping together.

2. Cats licking their fur can also help them relieve stress. For example, after being scolded by their owners, they will silently lick their fur. This is a transfer behavior that stabilizes emotions and is also the most common way for cats to relieve stress.

3. Cats licking their fur in the summer can also help dissipate heat from their bodies. Simply put, the fur licked by cats will be stained with saliva, and the evaporated saliva will take away some heat from the cat's body, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation.

4. Pet cats lick their fur in winter to keep warm.

Cat fur care:

1. Cat combs are divided into cat face combs and cat body combs. When combing the face, be gentle and slow. Try not to comb from head to tail at one time. When encountering tangles, press the roots of the hair with your hands before proceeding with the combing.

2. Use a brush to brush the fur to prevent hair loss, promote blood circulation, and make the fur more shiny. Long-haired cats need to be brushed every day, otherwise the hair will easily get tangled, but short-haired cats don't need to.

3. To make the fur smoother, hold the brush perpendicular to the body and comb the entire body. Brush along the growth pattern of the fur, and also brush small areas such as the tail and claws. Brush against the fur pattern to remove difficult-to-remove dirt.
