Why Do Cats Lick?



Cats are big fans of grooming, and you may have observed that they like to lick almost everything. Licking is a cat's way to clean itself or anything that surrounds them. They lick on surfaces and almost anything that is near them. You may have also noticed that they do not just lick objects, they may give you a sweet lick too!

Aside from grooming purposes, cats lick to communicate. If they lick you, then it is a way for them to show their love and care for you. They are affectionate, sweet, and sociable animals, and licking is their natural way to convey to you that they adore you.

This behavior is innate in cats probably because from the time that they were born, their mother would also lick them. They carry this behavior until they grow as adult cats as this is what they grew up with.
