Because cats dont have baths or showers naturally, they lick each other as a means of cleaning themselves.
That is how they say hello and to know who that other cat is.
Cats are curious and like to smell and lick things. This is the reason they tend to lick one another's butts.
They have no other way to wash themselves.
Thats their way of cleaning themselves.
to clean them
because that's how they greed each other.
They use their tongue to wash themselves.
they don't actually lick their butts. what they are licking are their anal scent glands. they are the glands they use to spray from in order to mark their territory. they are located on either side of their anus. cats have scent glands all over their body. that is why they rub up against people so they can mark them with their scent.
Cats are quite independent but I always know when my cats need attention, as they get all affectionate with me, licking and rubbing me and purring.
It depends why your cat is excessively licking himself. If stress is the trigger, then a Feliway Diffuser may help.
No offence..........that's disgusting u can get disease if they're not clean
if your cat drags their butts across the carpet or wood floor that usually means that they are trying to clean their butts but they cant. So you should clean it for them. Either clean their butts with a wet wipe a wash- cloth or a wet paper towel then simply dry their butt.
Because they can.
When they do this they are showing that they like and trust you and want you to get to know them. If you watch a group of friendly cats, they frequently sniff each other's butts. When they were kittens, their moms kept them clean by licking their butts. So next time, you should feel complimented.
no
it means they love you!

It comes frome butts
It is only natural for other animals to sniff butts. There is no reason for a person to sniff a cat's butt because you cannot smell the pheromones that the other cats are sniffing for.
Cats licking themselves has nothing at all to do with the weather; its just the cats way of keeping himself clean.
Cats keep themselves clean by licking their fur.
Like domestic cats, they groom themselves by licking.
