We all know that cats aren’t a fan of water, so how do they keep themselves clean? The secret lies in their tongues! A cat’s 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.
Take a cat bath!
Cats don’t 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’s 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!
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!
