Ever wonder if it’s really necessary to groom a cat? I mean, they practically groom themselves. They love to self groom and there are actual health benefits to it. Most cats can be seen grooming themselves numerous times a day. One main reason for grooming is so that the cat can remove any kind of food or other kind of scent from its coat. Outdoor cats will especially groom to remove odors or scents from food as well as scents from other cats and scents from locations. This is to ward off any type of predator. No scent is the most ideal. In addition, a cat will also groom or lick his own coat in the summer to stay cool and in the winter to stay warm. Self grooming helps push around the coat’s natural oils which can help protect the cat from the outside elements. For more information, call your veterinary clinic Murrieta, GA.
