Grooming is a habit
that all cats engage in every day. In fact, it occupies a considerable chunk of
their day to day activities. They are indeed known for their fastidious
grooming habits. Licking their bodies remove any dirt or grime and chew out
small mats. While we don’t really associate a cat’s scratching habit with grooming, running their nails over rough
surfaces removes the outer nails to give way to newer, healthier nails growing
in. Keeping their nails sharp this way is just a secondary. Understanding why
cats scratch will enable pet owners to view the habit in a positive light. If
your cat loves scratching on furniture or other objects in your home, it’s time you buy scratching posts to accommodate
your pet’s need to scratch.
Sudden changes in
your pet’s habits and
behaviors should warrant a visit
to your animal hospital Des Moines, IA.
