From reader James D., here is a beautiful example of a cooperative effort. “Synchronized licking? Or maybe competitive bathing? This is a video I took of my parents’ cats, Louie and Daisy.”

THAT is some mutual licking!! Perhaps James D. should not have intruded in such an intimate moment, I almost felt I should avert my eyes. Especially after that last look at the camera by Ginger Cat, seemed to say “Really?!?!?!? How about some privacy, hmmm?”
“Don’t judge us!!”
Found this last night.

Oh, Duckie, I’ve been thinking of you. I’m sure you will fill us in when you feel up to it. Sending good wishes in the meantime.
Kitten Fur fragrance sounds like a great idea. I wonder if there is a Puppy Fur version; I could use it, but I think I’d do okay with Kitten Fur if not.
I was thinking “Eau de Puppy Breath”.
I just emailed them and asked. Let you know what I get.
Not exactly mutual licking, but it’s still fawn season at my house, and I caught a pic of one of the babies helping mama clean herself. I’ll have to send it to Mike to post in the comments because I’m at work and can’t reduce the file size enough to post.
And here’s that picture! Talk about circular licking!
Thanks, Mike! 😀 I have another one at home from a few years ago, of the mama drinking from our bird bath and baby drinking from mama!
So so sweet!
Their dappled coats really are delightful.
I’m always waiting for cats’ rough tongues to get velcroed together. Close call here?
I bet that they bunny kick the crap out of each other often too.
You maaaay be correct 😉
My parents call them “Licky and Purry” when they’re sweet like this, but their alter egos are “Fighty and Bitey.”
?
That was just adorable. I love watching kitties baff each other.
If you want to throw around the technical term for bathing somebody else, it’s allogrooming; autogrooming is when you’re doing yourself.
