Big cat and small dog are friends since childhood

Cat's cleanliness can be envied. The cat can lick for hours, giving this procedure almost half of the free time from sleep. The cat is more sloppy, which is associated with the distribution of roles in the pride. The female, going for the prey, tries to get rid of the characteristic smell, while the male is busy protecting the territory and warns about his presence with his own odorous marks.

Maternal instinct
The mother-cat licks the kitten's not only for hygienic reasons. This procedure allows to solve a set of problems, in particular:

To eliminate the characteristic odor, which can be occupied predators;
To encourage correct breathing,
To ease defecation and urination in babies.
Guide newborns to the nipple.
Kittens start to lick themselves already from 2 weeks of age, and with a 3-week period fluffy lumps perform the same actions with my mom and cousins. Scientists have noticed that if the kids looked after unscrupulous mother, then she grow sloppy children.

Reasons washing cats
All animals are licked in different ways: some begin the procedure with the hind legs, others – with the muzzle or shoulders. A tiny tongue does not reach the whole body, then periodically licked wet paws come to the aid.
Mutual licking tailed Pets-a kind of communication. Often there is a demonstration of the pattern in the form of rubbing cats heads, especially after a long separation. Vilisova serves as an indicator of trust, care and friendship. If the attention extends to family members, this sign should be considered as a manifestation of love.

Often cats gather together on neutral territory in"Nightclubs." Most often, meetings take place on the roof, where all members of the meeting sit in a circle. Pomerleau enough and polesaw each other's coats, cats go home only in the morning. A pleasant massage of the head, neck and back gives pleasure to both the masseur and the client. Their hosts, in particular me, cats take for a strong and big brother. And if the pet starts to lick the hands or face, it means that this man managed to earn his respect.
