Cat owners often see a cat always licking the hair of another cat, or the cats licking the hair of each other? Today I will briefly tell you the secrets. Do you know?
1. Marking the smell
Cats mainly rely on the smell to identify the other cat, so a cat licks the hair of another cat may be to make the other person's body have the same smell as itself, and cats in the same family members will have a common smell.
2. When two cats determine their status, after getting along, cats with high status will lick their hair to cats with low status. This is a way for cats to swear sovereignty, but it is also a symbol of their friendship, which shows that they can accept each other. But if one cat licks another cat's hair and is refused, it is possible that the cat who is licked is dissatisfied. It is recommended to raise them separately first to avoid fighting.
3. Clean the body
Generally, cats with better motherhood may regard the other person as their own child. At this time, they will use their tongue to comb their hair, clean their body, and massage them at the same time.
4. Boring Pastime
If two cats of similar age lick each other, it may be that they are playing with each other. Because it is too boring, they will lick each other's hair to enjoy it. This is also a way for cats to pass the time when they are bored.
