Sometimes, when they think we aren’t looking, the cats like to be affectionate and help groom each other.

And it’s quite adorable…

I’ve never had cats before who actually liked grooming each other.

My cats growing up were quite content licking their own butts and leaving it at that.

These cats though enjoy the downtime of affectionately licking the other and helping with the 10+ hours cats spend on primping themselves.

Since you know that the rest of the time they’re sleeping. Of course.

It melts my heart when they do these touching little gestures… especially since it usually ends up in biting, scratching, and full on jerk mode to the other. Sigh.

Cats, you really are a mystery in what makes you tick.
