The reasons why cats like to lick their fur:

1. Cats licking their fur can make themselves cleaner. By licking the cat's fur, the cat can sweep away the fallen loose hair and make the hair soft. At the same time, it can remove some dust and mud stuck on the cat's hair and keep its body clean and tidy.

2. In summer, cats can dissipate heat by licking their fur. During the licking process, your cat's fur will be stained with saliva. As saliva evaporates, it naturally takes away some heat.

3. Eliminate stress. For cats, licking their fur is a common way to relieve stress. Cats can relieve stress and relieve their own tension by licking their fur.

4. Absorb vitamin D. Cats' fur secretes cholesterol and other substances, which produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. During the licking process, cats can take in the vitamin D that has been produced into their bodies.

Notes on cat licking:

1. When there is a wound, the cat instinctively wants to relieve it by licking it, but this will accelerate the wound. If the condition worsens, especially after surgery, the cat must wear an Elizabethan ring to prevent licking.

2. Cats always lick a certain part of their body, even to the point of hair loss and alopecia areata. This is definitely a problem. Most cases are caused by extreme anxiety and require timely attention.

3. Cats can easily bring cat hair into the body when grooming, and it is easy to accumulate a large amount of hair in the digestive tract. These hairs will form hair balls and may cause digestive tract obstruction.
