A very interesting article for you cat lovers about 'smurgling', also known as 'making biscuits' 😻

https://www.kinship.co.uk/cat-behaviour/what-is-smurgling-cats?fbclid=IwY2xjawIN2HJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHZoH-eA4VOTk2Rt46-HnUP4TsSxUmDmWGoPoOIQ_o28zQ1VhDaGnetcA7Q_aem_H5_pUnfodx9pXLmhJlOZpg&sfnsn=scwspwa

It’s just one of approximately 10 million adorable behaviours your cat does every day. But why? And does it mean anything more serious is going on?
