Experienced poop scavengers will find that cats like to dip the pads on their front feet into water and wipe it on their faces one by one, washing their faces like us humans.

It feels like I have obsessive-compulsive disorder

If you look carefully, you will find that the first thing to wash is the beard at the corner of the mouth. Use the licked front paws to wipe the beard, lick the front paws again, wipe the beard again after licking, and so on. Next, use the front paw on the other side to rub the beard on the other side in the same way. After the beard is cleaned, the whole body cleaning work begins. In this way, the dirt around the mouth, on the beard, and the dirt on the face will fall off after eating. Since the face cannot be licked directly, the licked front paws can only be used to scrub repeatedly, that is, the licked paws are used to wipe the face.

I feel like I have mysophobia

1. Maintain the sensitivity of sensory organs. The cat's face-washing action is very interesting. It uses its two front paws to dryly wipe the face from bottom to top, and wipes it very carefully. Cat's face-washing can clean the skin and restore the sensitivity of the "beard", a very important "tactile" organ.

2. It has the effect of health care. Because its little claws scratch the sensitive areas of the facial nerve, it has various effects. (Isn’t this the “dry brush bath” that we humans have invented now?)

3. To drive away fleas. When you see a cat washing its face, it will rain. This is because when it rains, the humidity increases and fleas become active on the cat. But cats are mysophobic animals and will wash their faces even if it doesn’t rain.

4. To supplement vitamin D. When sunlight hits their fur, their bodies produce vitamin D due to the stimulation of ultraviolet rays in the sunlight. The cat uses its front feet to dip its saliva into the face. This saliva can dissolve the vitamin D in the cat's fur. Then they take the vitamin-dissolved saliva from their feet and eat it back into their mouths. Their feet just act like "human hands." ” transmission effect.

5. Eliminate body odor. It can be said to be a cat’s highest mission. Because cats are animals that ambush their opponents, they don't like to leave any scent on their bodies. If there is body odor, the prey will notice the presence of the cat and run away. In fact, even if short-haired cats don't use shampoo, they won't have the same body odor as dogs.

Cats always wash their faces not entirely because they love beauty, but because it is good for their health. The scavenger can also regularly groom the cat's body hair, which will make the cat more comfortable.
