Hello everyone!
Ginger, our cat (& "oldest cat" in the family - he's 1+ yrs old) loves to groom & lick himself. His tail used to be bushier when he was still a kitten but it's become relatively thinner. What puzzles me is this:-
Ginger likes to lick Kitty (our 6mths old Bengal - a fairly recent addition to our family). He grooms & licks her like a mother, which is good but he does it so often... & he licks her privates too! (kitty likes it, mind U..) Sometimes, he tries to lick GIRLY (our norwegian forest) and her privates but she doesn't like it and tends to beat him away altho there are times when he proceeds to lick her long long hair.
Is this troubling?
Kitty will be de-sexed in a couple of weeks time...
I understand excessive grooming can be due to several reasons like early weaning and so on... But I'm just curious because the "love affair" between Kitty & Ginger sometimes goes beyond affection to appearing quite perverse!
I'm just concerned.. because sometimes, Kitty prefers to spend time with Ginger than with me... (this sounds crazy but shld I be jealous?)
Thanks.. looking forward to hear from U'all...
