thanks for your discussion and god bless you

i don't like being lcked by cats or even dogs. i think it's yuck for me. i don't like cats getting close to me so much. though i like having pets. but not having them and to sleep with me whatever. i just like to be around the house and give them some pat.

Hi Beauty, haven't seen you in a while in my mailbox... but I have a kitty too that likes to kiss. That is what I am thinking it is.. the licking is just a show of affection. Mine will also lick and chew on my fingers and toes sometimes. It could be your kitten just likes the salty taste of your skin. I think we all have a bit of salty taste to our skin and they like it... but mainly I think they are just trying to show affection to us.

Only one of my 3 cats do that. he just like to kiss me. When I take him in my arms he just have to lick my month lol. He also do it when i ask him a kiss. it,s funny because he doesnt always want to kiss my boyfriend lol

One of my cats use to do that to me all the time. There are only two reasons I can think of that they would do that. The first reason that comes to mind is that they are just lovey dovey cats and are showing affection for their humans. Cats lick eachother as a way of grooming and showing love. That may be what your cat is doing to you. Does that cat purr while it licks your face? If it does then I'm pretty sure that is what's up. The other reason cats may do that is because they like salt and we secrete salt when we sweat. It's kinda gross but that may be the reason.

Hi.My dog and 2 cats do that.I dont like it when the cats do it,its not a very nice feeling to feel sandpaper on my cheek,nose or chin,haha.Shes showing some love,like little love nips.She considers you family and thats what they do when they want to love you and get some attention from it,hehe.Love nipping!!Haha

I have one cat that will do this. None of my others ever have. Creamery will in fact put a paw on each of my shoulders and lick my chin. I do not have an answer other than it may be salty from sweat, or you may use a cleanser that has an attractive aroma to the kitten. It could be he smells food on your breath. I have had lots of cats that liked my hair care products and have licked and clawed my hair. I think some things just are special to them.

Hey, Beauty! Yeah...that's pretty much typical cat behavior. Have you ever noticed kittens or even adult cats playing together? They'll nip at each other and then roll over and wrestle (and then usually take off chasing each other around). It's an invitation to play. Also, one of my cats does it when I've been petting her a lot...it's like her endorphines get going from all the happy emotions, and she just can't control herself. Either way, look out for really violent tail switches or ears laid back...that means kitty isn't happy. But if she's got her eyes kind of half-closed and is purring, with her ears foreward or to the side and her whiskers kinda spread out and foreward, she's a happy kitty and there's no need to worry. Cheers!

tats the natural behavior of cats..tats how they show ter affection to us...its perfectly normal...
