Why Some Cats Love to Roll in Dust: Experts Reveal the Reasons for Strange Behavior

A cat's habit of rolling in the dust can safely be called unpleasant, because we love spending time with our pets.
If the fur coat gets dirty, you won’t want to pick up your pet.
However, it is worth understanding that a cat does not roll in the dust out of spite: it has more important reasons.
What Cat Owners Don't Know
Gastrointestinal organs
Cats are much smarter than humans, as they literally sense what they need to do to improve their health. For example, "playing" in the dust helps to take care of the gastrointestinal tract, experts say.
During such leisure, the animal's body receives the necessary microorganisms.
You stopped paying attention
It should come as no surprise that cats also need our attention from time to time. This is especially true for sociable and socially oriented animals.
If you stop spending time with your pet, he may start rolling in the dust to surprise you.
Territory
Smells play an important role for cats: they are the ones that let them know which territory is whose "property". If a cat thinks that its scent is not enough, it starts to roll around on the floor or right in the dust outside.
In this way, the pet shows that this part of the territory “belongs” to him.
