Self-Grooming: Cats are experts at grooming themselves. They have tiny hooks on their tongues that help comb through fur, remove dirt, and prevent matting. Regular self-grooming keeps their skin healthy and coats shiny. If you notice signs of neglect or overgrooming, it might indicate health issues
