Hu’s PhD student, Alexis Noel, first became interested in cat grooming after watching her cat’s tongue repeatedly get snagged as it licked a microfiber blanket.

Series 6 offers characteristics of great elasticity and maintains its particular form over time with proper maintenance. Understanding how they work could lead to new methods of applying creams and lotions to cat skin without needing to shave their fur. The study covered six different species of cat – from domesticated cats to lions – and identified four stages in a grooming lick: tongue extension, tongue expansion and tissue stiffening, a sweep of the tongue through the fur, and tongue retraction. The curved shape of the papillae allows it to wick up water on contact, using surface tenstion—something that a hollow cone couldn’t do. High-speed videos of grooming cats revealed that felines can easily unload this saliva onto fur through licks, with each lick depositing nearly half the saliva on the tongue onto fur.If cats think people are just big, dumb, mostly hairless cats, then the Licki Brush will only perpetuate felines' stereotypical view of humans.

Flat tip brush with dark red-violet synthetic fibre with short ergonomic birchwood handle with an ecological dark brown water-based varnish and with chromed brass ferrule.

If you think, "Hmm, I have always wondered what it would be like to lick my cat," then this is totally the brush for you.

Lions there, which number fewer than 150, are under imminent threat of extinction from Maasai herdsmen thought to be retaliating against prides who prey on their cattle.It offers a slow and homogeneous release of water, and the “spring” improves the application performance of the brush giving a controlled and precise stroke. Which makes us think that the papillae height and the papillae shape is actually optimal for a whole bunch of different types of fur.

Studded with small, curved flexible spines just like those on a cat’s tongue, the TIGR prototype readily removes loose hair or fur from humans and felines alike but can be cleaned with the simple swipe of a finger. Comfortable to use】: When licking the cat, make your teeth and tongue fit the bite part, have a good experience. Fan brush with dark red-violet synthetic fibre, long handle in earth-red lacquered wood and gold tip, with a nickel-plated brass ferrule. It's made from food-grade silicone, has soft flexible bristles on the top and bottom of tongue, and cleans up easily with soap and water.Cat's Tongue Brush 6 is designed for applying UV gel and is suitable for both builder gel and gel colour. Thermal imaging cameras revealed that grooming can also help cool a cat, creating a temperature difference of up to 30° Fahrenheit between the skin and outermost fur as the saliva evaporates.
