Meanings
- not comparableHaving been previously licked.
There is also an omnipresent whitewash of rabbit fur across my carpets. I tried lint-rolling, but after clearing about an inch, the roller ended up looking like a prelicked Fab lolly dropped on the floor of the hairdresser's.

Despite the impressive revolving capability of the feline neck, which allows it to take care of its back, it can't give a feline tongue access to its nape or head, and cats therefore give these areas a good scrub by rubbing them with a prelicked forepaw, following a precise routine.
