Some cats have a habit of licking not only themselves, but also surrounding objects – furniture, bags, things, etc.
We'll tell you why cats do this and whether you should worry.
Why do cats lick objects?
Most often, cats lick objects brought from the street - packages, boxes, bags, purchases. This is how the cat learns about the world and satisfies its curiosity.
This is normal behavior for cats that are not allowed outside.
If your cat licks everything, this is a serious cause for concern.
Obsessive licking is a sign that the cat is experiencing severe stress.
The reasons may be different – punishment, moving to a new house, traveling, protracted renovations, the appearance of a new person or animal in the house, jealousy, etc.
You can, of course, try to calm the cat yourself, but it is better to contact a veterinarian, he will prescribe a sedative.
