Why does an adult cat hit itself on the face with its hind legs: experts have revealed possible reasons
07.04.2024 19:00
Many people know that some cats can sometimes hit themselves in the face with their hind paws.
Most often, kittens can be found engaged in such a curious activity.
Since young animals have not yet mastered all their possible skills, this behavior is normal.
But sometimes older cats also show a tendency to "self-flagellation".
How can this be explained?
Game
If you only have one animal that is often left to its own devices, your pet may try to find entertainment for itself.
Even such a strange way of "playing" is much better than loneliness. In this case, it is worth finding a good toy for the cat.
Parasites
Experts remind that even domestic cats are not immune to various parasites, including fleas. These pests can bother any part of the body.
So cats are simply trying to get rid of the unpleasant sensations.
Stress
It's not just humans who can be nervous and tense: animals have their own reasons for worrying, too. All cats show stress in different ways.
Some may hit themselves in the face with their paws.
