Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Gotta Groom

Cats have a remarkable ability to contort themselves into various peculiar positions, almost like practicing feline yoga, while grooming. In fact, it's estimated that adult cats dedicate around half of their day to self-grooming! One of the main reasons behind their constant grooming sessions is temperature regulation. As they lick their fur, the evaporation of saliva helps to cool them down.

Grooming also aids in redistributing natural oils on their skin and fur, serving as a protective barrier to retain heat and repel moisture. Additionally, grooming stimulates blood circulation and promotes relaxation in cats. Although it may appear excessive, it's perfectly normal behavior for our feline friends!
