Cats enjoy licking their fur. They can release stress and soothe their emotions through licking their fur. Cats licking their fur can also regulate their own body temperature, making them cooler in summer. At the same time, licking the hair helps to spread the oil secretions of the sebaceous glands evenly to all parts of the body, which plays a role in preventing moisture and keeping warm.

Although licking is very important for cats, excessive licking can cause hairballs in cats, so owners should comb their cats frequently to reduce their hair intake. Owners should also give their cats regular cat grass or hair removal cream to avoid hair balls.
