The curved papillae, which give the tongue its rough surface, work like a comb, straightening the fur and removing food particles, dirt, and loose hairs. Washing also serves to spread the cat's personal smell from its various scent glands all over its body. FLEXIBLE CLEANING A cat is able to use its tongue to groom most parts of its body.
