Hygiene in Cats

Over the years, the million-dollar question has been heard echoing through the corners of every cat lover’s home: are cats the most hygienic pets?
Cat lovers would always say yes, but objectively we know this is a tough question to pose. To reach the most assertive conclusion to this age-old question, we have decided to dissect the daily grooming routine of these beloved felines and say that the cat is one of the most independent pets there are.
By all accounts, cats are very busy animals. They can spend between 30% and 50% of the day grooming themselves. They also, despite common misperception, unselfishly groom their other feline family members cats. The grooming routine begins systematically by cleaning and combing their paws, onto the head, and continues to the genitals and body. They use their barbed tongues as grooming tools to aid in licking and maintaining themselves moist; their front paws become their washcloth. And lastly, their teeth are used to remove any dirt adhered to their bodiesA
nAnother important aspect in cat hygiene is how they eliminate waste. Long known for their independent spirit, in this department, they find themselves dependent on their litter box. Cats, as per their discreet nature, usually cover their excrement immediately in order to avoid odor. Therefore, as a cat owner, it is always important to remove the dirty litter from the box. On the contrary, cats will refrain from using it and go hunting for a new hot spot.
If your cat dislikes baths and/or brushings, it is important to avoid doing these forcefully. To further strengthen your Pet-Owner relationship, you can use human grooming procedures only if your cat enjoys being brushed daily. This is beneficial to the Pet-Owner relationship, and provides the pet owner opportunities to attend to any skin problems that even a master groomer could not attend toother important aspect in cat hygiene is how they eliminate waste.
