WHY ARE CAT TONGUES ROUGH LIKE SANDPAPER?

A cat's tongue is covered in tiny, backward-facing spines called papillae.

These papillae are made of keratin, the same material that makes up human hair and nails.

The rough texture of a cat's tongue helps them groom themselves by removing loose fur and dirt from their coat.

The papillae also help distribute saliva throughout a cat's fur, which helps keep their coat clean and healthy.

A cat's tongue is also important for their health, as it helps them remove parasites and other debris from their skin.

The rough texture of a cat's tongue can also help them scrape meat off of bones when they eat.

While a cat's tongue may feel uncomfortable to humans, it is an important part of their anatomy and grooming habits.

Regular grooming can help keep a cat's tongue and coat healthy and clean.
