Cute Cat Grooming itself

Cats groom themselves not only to keep clean but for several other health reasons
To regulate body temperature
To keep her coat clean and smooth by distributing natural skin oils
To stimulate circulation
To cool herself down through evaporation of saliva
To eliminate parasites, infection, and allergies
To prevent hairballs
Displacement behavior: If your cat feels embarrassed, anxious, or as though she’s in a conflict, she may lick to calm herself.
