sign of affection for each other or some instinct thing?


My cats do this as well. They are brother and sister from the same
litter. If you think about it, cats are always cleaning themselves,
but you can see how hard it is for them to clean their head or the
inside of their ears without some help.


And grooming behavior is common among many animals.
