Everyone knows that cats simply love to be scratched behind the ear.
They close their eyes in pleasure and begin to purr loudly.
We explain why cats enjoy being scratched behind the ear so much.
Why does a cat like to be scratched behind the ear?
Firstly, when cats are scratched behind the ears, it reminds them of their mother, who licked their faces when they were kittens.
When you stroke your cat behind the ear, it is immersed in pleasant memories of childhood.
Secondly, scratching behind the ear is important for cats in terms of hygiene, because it is difficult for them to reach there with their paws.
Thirdly, cats have scent glands in the area of their ears, cheeks and chin.
When the owner's fingers touch these areas, marking occurs. The cat marks the owner with its scent, which is also very pleasant for it.
