As a very clean animal, cats will lick their hair when they have anything to do, with the purpose of combing and cleaning themselves. However, some friends found that their cats lick their bodies very frequently, and they were a little worried about this. So what is the reason why cats lick their bodies crazy? What should I do if a cat licks its body crazy? Next, let’s see why cats lick their bodies crazy.
1. The pressure is too high
Cats are very sensitive creatures. If they suddenly change to a new environment or have strangers and animals at home, they will cause strong anxiety in the cat, and they will lick their bodies madly to reduce blood pressure. In this regard, the owner needs to soothe the cat and relieve its nervousness, such as gently touching the cat's head and back with his hands, putting the cat in a safe and hidden place to rest, etc.
2. Eliminate the smell
If a cat is contaminated with the smell you don't like or if the body is dirty, it will lick its own body and use saliva to clean and cover up the smell. This is a normal phenomenon. As long as the cat does not have other abnormalities, the owner does not have to worry too much.
3. Body injury
Because the wound will cause pain in the cat, and the wound will itch during the healing process, so in order to relieve discomfort, the cat will frequently lick the wound. Therefore, the owner can carefully check the parts of the cat licking frequently. If a wound is found, it needs to be cleaned and disinfected in time and applied to treat it.
4. Skin diseases
If a cat suffers from skin diseases, because of itching skin, the cat will lick its body crazily to relieve discomfort, and it will also be accompanied by symptoms such as redness, hair loss, and dandruff. Therefore, the owner can check it. Once the cat has the above symptoms, he or she needs to consult a pet doctor for medication in time.
Therefore, it is the homework that every cat shoveler needs to do~
