Secrets de chats (Arte): 3 things to know about the French favorite pet

An ethologist in Weimar, Germany, studied the daily lives of a dozen kittens to identify their favorite activities.

The purpose of this habit, carried out several times a day, is to maintain impeccable hygiene and meticulously examine oneself in complete relaxation, and at the same time and above all to perceive new smells.
