When walking down the street, you sometimes see two cats who are good friends grooming each other. They can become more intimate by licking parts of the body that are difficult for them to do themselves and exchanging smells.


However, house cats kept alone do not have many opportunities to be groomed. LICKI BRUSH is a grooming brush that allows owners to care for their cats as if they were cats. Designed to look like a tongue, the brush can be held in the owner's mouth while brushing.


The brush is made of soft silicone that is comfortable for cats' sensitive skin. From the product introduction video, it appears that the cats are not averse to being groomed, but rather are willing to be groomed. The developers say that not only is this a more enjoyable way to communicate with your cat, but they also advise, "Don't be surprised if the cat licks you back in return.


LICKI BRUSH is currently seeking investors on the crowdfunding site "kickstarter" to commercialize the product. The company is also offering a special price for the product. If the funding is successful, the product is scheduled to be shipped in January 2017, and will be available for delivery to Japan. If you have ever wanted to lick that shiny, fluffy body! If you've always wanted to lick that shiny, fluffy body, this might be your chance!
