If you keep two cats of similar age at home, they are easy to fight, but if a new kitten comes to the house, the shoveler will find that the big cat often licks the kitten's hair, and many people will be puzzled. What's wrong with the big cat licking the new kitten's hair? Why do big cats keep licking hair for new kittens? Let’s take a look at why big cats have been licking their new kittens’s hair.
1. Mark the smell
Cats mainly rely on the smell to identify the other person, so when a new kitten comes at home, the big cat will leave a smell by licking the kitten's hair, so that the smell on the kitten is the same as that of itself, and the smell is also an important sign for the cat to determine whether it is his own person.
2. Oath of sovereignty
Generally speaking, cats who feel that they have a high status will lick other cats to swear sovereignty. Therefore, the big cat licks the new kitten's hair, which also means that the big cat has a higher status and a low status, but this is also a friendly manifestation, so the owner does not need to interfere too much.
3. Clean the body
After the physical status is confirmed, the big cat will help the kitten clean his hair and clean up areas that the other party cannot usually lick, such as the top of the head, ears, or face, etc. Because cats often lick their hair to clean their bodies, the owner must feed cat grass or hair cream regularly to prevent cats from suffering from erectile dysfunction.
