    Cats love to be clean. They bathe whenever they can.

    However, if you find bald patches or some fur missing, that could be a sign your cat has flea irritation or Flea Allergy Dermatitis. Invest some Advantage or Frontline Plus for your cat.

    Mine does it too, it's normal. Unless she's licking one particular spot, then it might mean whatever spot that is bothers her or hurts her.
