Cats are known to frequently self-groom. They maintain their fur nice and clean at all times. Miss Missey is not the exception! When she's not sleeping, she's grooming!
Not only do cats enjoy grooming themselves but they have the purrfect tool for it. A Cat's tongue is covered with filiform papillae, tiny spike-like projections. If a cat ever licks you, you'll feel them! The papillae makes the cat's tongue rough.The filiform papillae allows them to brush and clean their fur, all at the same time! They act much like tiny combs.
