Many owners notice that their pets are willing to devote a huge amount of time to hygiene issues.

Animals take a careful and responsible approach to "washing" their fur.

What is this connected with?

It's really a matter of hygiene.

Cats are very strict about cleanliness, so they try to maintain their fur in perfect condition. Therefore, the pet does not spare time for this process.

Hot weather

Few people know that this process helps the cat cool down in hot weather, making its life more comfortable.

Enemies

Despite the fact that no one hunts cats at home, it is difficult for them to forget their instincts. Therefore, the animal actively "washes" itself in order to make its smell invisible to predators.

It's nice

It is worth noting that this process is quite pleasant for the cat itself. Even if it is in a state of nervous tension, this will help it get rid of stress.

It is also believed that washing the fur, combined with purring, helps the cat get rid of painful sensations.
