Grooming behavior in cats is a sign that your cats are healthy, free of pain, and comfortable in their environment. Grooming removes dirt and parasites and prevents tangled hair. This behavior is essential for the healthy cat.
I will see older cats who are overweight or have arthritis that won’t be able to groom themselves. If your cat will allow it, if can be helpful to brush your cats and keep them free of tangled hair. Your cat will be more comfortable.
What about mutual grooming?
Mutual grooming is a way for one cat to show their love and comfort with another cat.
