We all know that cats aren\u2019t a fan of water, so how do they keep themselves clean? The secret lies in their tongues! A cat\u2019s tongue is covered in tiny, sharp cones called papillae that work like a natural comb, helping them groom deep into their fur and keep their skin healthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Take a cat bath!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cats don\u2019t need water to stay clean, but humans sure do! Did you know that filling a bathtub uses the same amount of water as a 15-minute shower? That\u2019s a lot of water! Plus, think of all the energy it takes to heat up that water and the fossil fuels that are burned to create electricity!<\/p>\n\n\n

You can be a cool cat by cutting back on water and energy use! Swap that long bath for a quick 5-minute shower and help the planet stay clean too!<\/p>\n\n\n
