So, this new pet accessory is giving all of us the major CREEPS today

As any cat owner will know, our feline friends spend a crazy amount of time tending to their personal hygiene.

Watching them get their groom on can be a pretty mesmerising experience, but unfortunately for us, it's not something we can get involved in…until now, that is.

If you've been feeling a little left out during your cat's pamper sessions, the good folk behind LICKI – a new Kickstarter project –  have come up with a solution just for you.

Having designed a silicone brush shaped like a giant tongue which will allow any eager pet owner to involve themselves in the grooming process, Jason O'Mara of PDX Pet Design said: "As a human, you’re left out of the intimate licking ritual."

"Cats groom each other as a form of social bonding," he continued. "There’s also evidence to suggest that cats view and treat their human captors as large cats."

So, just pop on that LICKI Brush and go to town on that cat of yours, girls.
