NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
Cats are known to engage in allogrooming, a behaviour where they lick and groom each other, which has often been interpreted as a sign of affection and social bonding. However, this new study suggests that there may be a more complex motivation behind this behaviour, potentially challenging the common assumption that it is always a friendly gesture. The study's findings could provide new insights into the social dynamics and communication patterns of domestic cats.
