It is a sign of affection. It is actually not very common for cats to trust each other enough to allow another cat into their personal space. Cats are not herd animals like dogs, and generally prefer living by themselves in a household. If your cats are grooming each other, congratulations, your cats love each other. Many times, if there is an age difference between the two cats, the older one will "mother" the younger one (even if the older is a male), and groom it as a protection tool. If they are the same age, it's more directly related to bonding. All in all, your cats have developed an affection for each other and are progressively getting along well.

Cats groom themselves by licking their fur to keep clean, remove dirt, regulate body temperature, and distribute natural oils for a healthy coat. It is also a form of self-care and relaxation for them.

This is easy! Cats go to the bathroom, for the same reason humans go to the bathroom! They drink and eat, and finally they have to just let it all out to make room for the new food and drink. Most cats go to the toilet in a little box with newspaper or other stuff in it. It is called a kittylitter. It is most helpful, and so am I. Toodle loo! Please don't ask anymore silly questions!

Cats find it necessary to wash themselves constantly as they are naturally very clean animals. Constant cleaning keeps their fur in good condition and helps the fur to be free of dirt and bugs such as fleas or ticks. Licking also spreads oils and the cat's own scent from scent glands that are on certain parts of the body through the fur. This helps the cat rub off its own scent onto things like other cats or territorial posts.

Because they want to be clean. They also lick themselves to stay cool on hot days. In addition, they try to clean cuts.

Cats clean each other to show their affection and to help each other reach places the other can't reach.
