How do cats manage to groom themselves so thoroughly?
1 Answer
Cats are able to groom themselves so thoroughly thanks to their rough tongues, which are covered in small hooks called papillae. These hooks help to remove dirt and debris from the fur, as well as spread natural oils throughout the coat. Cats also have a special gland in their cheeks that produces a special grooming oil, which helps to keep their fur clean and healthy. Additionally, cats use their teeth to remove dead skin and fur.
