Sometimes a cat can surprise its owners with an excessive interest in human hair.
The pet begins to lick them and sometimes even eat them.
This behavior surprises anyone.
Why do cats eat our hair
Love and care
In the wild, cats prefer to live in proud solitude, but these animals have been in contact with people for a long time.
Because of such close contact, cats often become attached to humans and begin to experience warm feelings.
In this case, interest in hair becomes a symbol of love and care: the pet simply wants to tidy up the owner’s hair, experts believe.
Nice smell
Sometimes this behavior is related to the use of cosmetics. If the cat liked the smell of hair conditioner, it will certainly try to eat the hair.
Nervous tension
If a cat is stressed, it may behave unusually and strangely. If before this the pet was indifferent to hair, then you should be wary: it is quite possible that the reason lies in nervous tension.
In this case, it is worth finding out what became the source of stress for the animal.
