Did you know that cats are natural groomers? This means that your Persian or most other cats pretty much spend their day either sleeping, eating or grooming. It is a cat’s natural instinct to groom their coat until it meets their personal status of perfection. They also groom multiple times a day to remove food scents and other smells from themselves so that they can’t be easily detected by predators. Inside and outside cats also groom and lick to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. If your American Longhair is grooming in a similar manner then it’s all part of his feline makeup. However, if your cat is excessively grooming and you don’t know of time you haven’t seen him licking himself then you might want to call your vet. Excessive grooming can be a sign of stress, anxiety, or illness. Always consult with your vets White Rock, TX.
