Why do cats bathe each other?

Cats don't typically bathe each other! While they're very meticulous groomers, they generally focus on keeping themselves clean.

Here's why you might be thinking this:

* Mutual grooming: Cats do sometimes groom each other, but this isn't primarily about bathing. It's more about social bonding and strengthening their relationships. It's a way for them to show affection and trust.

* "Bath" might be a misnomer: When cats groom each other, it's usually just a quick lick or two on a specific area. It's not a full-body bath like you might imagine.
