Swedish term or phrase: ansning
For example: animals grooming their fur/coat. Does ansning mean grooming in this context?
Thanks in advance,

Explanation:
You could use ansning for grooming, but usually putsning is prefered when it comes to feathers and fur. I guess ansning has more to do with plants.
