This is a truly useful and effective cleaning system.Alexis Noel and David Hu, from the Georgia Institute of Technology (USA), have carried out a study on this part of cats, drawing curious conclusions. Among them we highlight that their taste buds have a hollow cavity at the end that has the shape of the letter U. This allows the saliva to accumulate and perfectly clean the innermost parts of his body.
In addition, the way cats do their daily cleaning allows them to travel as far as possible. Cats are very clean animals as you can see.
