What do you do if your kitten is biting itself?

Like in cleaning itself? My cats do that, they find a part of their fur that is "unclean" and they bite at it, then lick it clean. They don't draw blood though, so if your cat is hurting itself by biting all the time, or drawing blood; you should take your cat the vet and have it checked out. Or, it may be because of fleas, the cat maybe biting itself to itch where the fleas are.


Why is your cat licking his fur so much?

A cat's natural way of cleaning itself is by grooming. This means it will lick itself all over to remove excess oils, dirt, and loose hairs.A cat's tongue has little buds similar to the teeth of a comb. The cat's tongue acts like a comb as it groom itself all over. Some cats love grooming so much, they also groom their playmates and other house-cats.
