Learn why cats are licking one part all the time?

Cats are very clean animals. They usually lick their hair on their bodies habitually. However, if we find that cats are licking one part, the owner may have to pay attention to it. It may be because of the following reasons that the cats are licking one part.

1. Itchy skin

If a cat suffers from skin diseases or is infected with parasites, because of itchy skin, the cat will keep licking the affected area to relieve physical discomfort. At the same time, the skin will also cause redness, ringworm spots, hair loss, etc. If this is the case, it is recommended that the owner wear an Elizabethan ring on the cat in time and take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible.

2. Body injury

Because the wound will cause pain in the cat, the cat will always lick the wound after being injured, hoping to relieve the pain in this way, and there will be a significant itching feeling when the wound becomes suppurated or the wound heals, which will also cause the cat to lick the injured area continuously. In this regard, the owner should carefully check the part of the cat licking. If the wound is found, it needs to be cleaned and disinfected in time, and applied anti-inflammatory drugs, and then bandaged to prevent the cat from continuing to lick the wound, causing inflammation.

3. When cats are anxious and stressed, they will frequently lick their bodies to reduce blood pressure, such as suddenly changing into a new environment, having strangers or cats at home, etc. At this time, it is recommended that the owner wear Elizabethan circles on the cat to prevent the cat from licking the hair excessively, and accompany the cat to comfort the cat more often, and play interactive games with the cat to divert attention. As long as the owner is patient and accompany him more, the cat's depression will generally improve and disappear.
