What do you get for the cat person who has everything, but still wants to lick their pet?

As much as your cat loves the snuggles and strokes you give it on a daily basis, there's nothing more bonding than using your own tongue to groom your beloved pet, just like a mother cat caring for its young.

But all that cat hair can be so pesky. Enter, the Licki Brush.


The Licki Brush is a synthetic cat tongue for humans to use on their pets. You stick it in your mouth, much like a baby's pacifier, and use the extended brush to simulate the act of feline grooming. All this, of course, brings you closer to your pet. 

Because not licking cats just isn't an option anymore.

The brush's bristles are meant to feel like a real cat's tongue on your precious kitty's head. From the looks of the company's promo video (above), both the cats and their humans seem to really enjoy it.

According to the Licki Brush website, the company plans to start a Kickstarter soon. Cat people everywhere can sign up for their newsletter in the meantime, until they can finally purchase their own brush.

Soon you can be inseparably close to your cat, without having to ingest hairballs. The future is now.
