that requires regular upkeep
to stay healthy and shiny

essential for removing dirt

scent marking to communicate

pheromones or chemical signals

and even warn potential rivals
to stay away So when your cat

moodBut what about the
different stages of grooming

various techniques to target
specific areas of their coats

like we would use a
toothbrush2 Tousling As

involves gently raking their
claws through their coats to
redistribute oils and keep
their skin healthy3 Rubs Cats
will rub their faces ears and
bodies on surfaces to deposit
pheromones and mark their
territoryBy breaking down the
grooming process into these
distinct stages we can better
