Cats are fastidious. In fact, when they quit being so, it\u2019s time for an intervention, aka, a trip to the veterinarian. Something is wrong with a cat who doesn\u2019t regularly take a spit bath. It could be that the cat is obese (as was discussed in Monday\u2019s post). If the cat is too fat, not only is he probably lethargic and doesn\u2019t feel much like taking his tongue-bath, but he may be too fat to reach every part of his body for a good cleaning.<\/p>\n
Cats, as they say, come fully equipped with the proper cat-cleaning tools. Rough tongue, paws to use as washcloths, teeth to pull foreign objects and mats from the fur. And experts say that a cat will clean every body part at least once a day. A cat can spend hours each day cleaning. You probably notice that after Fluffy\u2019s morning bath, she may lounge in her favorite sunny spot. When you can\u2019t resist the urge to pet her and smooch a little, she then takes another bath\u2014licking her paws and running them over her ears again, cleaning her whiskers, licking every inch of her fur. Don\u2019t take that as an insult. It\u2019s just part of a cat\u2019s makeup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
