Cats are clean creatures. Any owner knows for sure that cats love to wash themselves.
It also happens that the pet starts doing this immediately after being stroked.
What does this behavior indicate?
There could be several reasons.
First of all, it is worth mentioning instincts. After all, the animal prefers only its own smell. It is for this reason that a cat can lick its owner, rub against his legs to mark its territory.
If the owner's hands smell of soap or perfume, and he decides to pet the pet, the latter will decide to quickly get rid of the excess aroma and will start licking itself.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account that cats carefully monitor their fur. If it has changed, for example, and has become ruffled, then this must be urgently corrected.
Sometimes a cat may be in a bad mood. In this case, it will start licking the fur in the place where it was just stroked. At the same time, it will try to move away so that you don’t touch it anymore.
