  You know how our buns right as they try to bring their arms up to groom their face or ears do a whole bunch of twitches? Why is that? Is it difficult for them to use their front legs that way? It’s kind of funny to see anyways

  it’s sooo cute to watch that! i’ve lways thought it was to fluff up their fur and shake off any dust so as to better clean with. do other aminals do that too or is it just buns?

  I have also seen cats do the paw flick thing. I also believed it is to try and throw off any unwanted dirt before beginning the cleaning process.
