Did you know that cats, which are the epitome of cleanliness, may spend as much as half of their waking hours licking themselves, as well as relatives and those they care about?
At what age do cats start grooming? Kittens start grooming themselves when they are about four weeks old and at the fifth week of age, kittens also begin grooming their littermates, as well as their mom.
“Allogrooming” which is mutual grooming amongst littermates, often continues into adulthood and it is a social activity that serves to strengthen the bond between cats.
Got anything to add?
