When my cat is in the midst of the wildest of his zoomies, he often interrupts his fervor to lick himself, often his chest. Why? Is this common?
I'm fine if the answer is "cats are weird", but I'm honestly so curious. How is this adaptive behaviour? Why would he do this in the middle of play or hunting? I've seen a few other cats do this so I know it's not unheard of, but is it really common?
