I know the title is poorly worded but I can’t really think of how exactly to word the question.
I was watching a cat try to find a place to sit that wasn’t covered in snow and it made me think about how humans wipe off snow covered seats or just dirty seats in general.
Is that a uniquely human thing or are there other animals that exhibit similar behaviors?
They don’t clean it, at least that’s not their intention. They don’t have saliva, so they’re really just trying to get it wet.
It’s more like those hot dog eating contests where they dunk the whole thing in water.
