But paws for cats are not only about attracting attention and love from people. It is also a very important part of their body. With their help, cats move - after all, they do not walk with the whole "foot," but relying on their fingers.
With these soft-touch paws, cats can run extremely quietly and increase their stride size. In turn, this increases their movement speed and makes them silent.
With the help of the front paws, cats clean the most inaccessible places: the area behind the ears, neck and muzzle. Such an ideal tool for "hair care." First, cats wet their paws with saliva, and then they wash themselves with that saliva - and not even water is needed. By the way, kittens learn to wash their paws as early as 4 weeks.
Some cat lovers have noticed how their pets wrinkle blankets with their front paws. One of the known reasons for this phenomenon is that it is just "a habit from childhood." So, while still kittens, in the process of feeding, they kneaded the mother cat's stomach in order to stimulate the flow of milk.
As adults, they may repeat such movements when they need affection or a sense of security which they can only get from the owner. And the second reason for this behavior is that cats can crush grass to make themselves a comfortable "bed" for relaxation.
By the way, cats can even cause changes in their owner's personal life. Don't believe us? Then just read this post of ours about a date between allergic woman and a cat lover.
