Cats lick their fur for more than just cleaning. It also helps them regulate body temperature, protect wounds and relieve stress. Read on to find out how a cat’s tongue provides build in health care. And how you can help your cat maintain ideal grooming.
Cats have sweat glands in their faces, anal areas and paws. These glands alone may not be sufficient for releasing body heat, especially in warm weather, but licking can help. Licking removes excess fur to help keep the coat lighter, and the saliva on the fur has a cooling effect as it evaporates.
Your cat’s saliva has antibacterial properties. So when he or she licks a wound, it does more than smooth the injury. It helps protect from infection, too.
Grooming also serves as a massage or sorts for your cat. The repetitive action of licking helps to relieve stress and improve circulation, much like muscles and tissues massages do for humans.
From time to time, you will need to call a Professional CAT Groomer to help with shedding and complete the job your cat is not able to do. Examples: trim nails, clean ears, and properly bath your little fluff ball.

Why are cat bites so dangerous?
Why is it that cat bites can be so dangerous? Over one million bites are reported in the United States yearly, most in children. Close contact with cats poses an important health risk to certain segments of the human population.
Cat bites wounds are more likely to become infected in people. Systemic complications from bit wounds occur more commonly when the patient has underlying disease such as liver or kidney failure, diabetes mellitus, or degenerative joint disease.
Infection with human immuno-deficiency virus or treatment with immunosuppressive drugs for cancer, immune-mediated diseases or for organ transplantation, have rendered these patients more susceptible to infection with zoonotic diseases. Patients with prosthetic heart valves or joints are more likely to develop systemic or local complications from cat bite wounds. If you are bitten by a cat, contact your doctor immediately.

Your cat is a special member of your family. It seems she is independent that she does not need you to take care of her, but that’s not true. YOUR CAT DEPENDS ON YOU COMPLETELY, she just pretends she doesn’t sometimes. Many cats that come through the doors of many Humane Societies need baths, mats combed out, or complete shave-downs because of the perception that cats relay on humans for food and water only.
Cats that are not brushed regularly (especially long-haired) cats can get mats in their fur. Mats pull on your pet’s skin and if they connect from front leg to middle to back leg, even walking can become excruciating as each leg movement pulls on every part of your cat. Obviously, mats are painful, but dead matted for can hide a host of skin problems as well. Moisture trapped at the cat’s skin level can breed bacteria. This spreading bacteria then attacks your cat after mats have formed, it will take even more patience because it will be very painful. Would you sit still to have your hair ripped out by the roots?
Grooming a cat is not difficult, but does require some patience on your part. All cats need nails trimmed once a month. Your cat many need a few tried to get all the nails, but your patience and a few treats will pay off during each subsequent trimming. Cleaning ears is very important each month also. Cats can get painful ear infections if ears are let dirty too long. For a short-haired cat, brushing with a slicker brush once a week is fine. If your cat has medium or long hair, comb through all the fur, then follow up with a slicker brush. You will need to do this once or twice a week to prevent mats. A comb will get through a tangle before it has a change to mat. If you do find a mat is to difficult, you need to call a professional cat groom from NCGIA or your local veterinarian.

Cats do not groom themselves, they lick themselves, Licking does nothing to remove mats, kill fleas, eliminate dandruff, deodorize, correct bad breath, kill germs, trim sharp nails, or clean up messes. If we licked ourselves all over, we wouldn’t be clean, we’d be covered in saliva!

Cats have skin and hair much like ours. It’s constantly growing and shedding the old hairs. It’s skin secretes natural oils that coat the hairs and give it that nice kitty shine. Additionally they have two layers of skin, the dead skin flakes off and causes dandruff. In turn the dead hairs, oily skin and dandruff form into clumps that turn into knots, tangles and mats and if left for a long time they can eventually become a pelt.
