Why Your Cat Grooms Differently Than Your Dog (And What That Means for Their Care)
If you share your home with both a cat and a dog, you've probably noticed they approach grooming almost like two completely different species — because, in terms of instinct, they really do. Understanding why cats and dogs groom so differently helps explain why their care routines shouldn't look the same either. Cats: Built-In, Near-Constant Groomers Cats are famously fastidious self-groomers, spending a significant portion of their waking hours — often estimated at around 30-50% — licking, cleaning and maintaining their own coat.
