My cat sheeba is always wanting to lick my ear-lobes and no where else on my face or hands. I wouldn't mind it so much if it didn't hurt..but sometimes I just can't handle it. I'm not sure why she does this. Any thoughts?
That's exactly what Sheeba does with the purring, "kneeding" my face and the licking of my earlobe. And at first it is cute, but then her tongue gets really dry and ROUGH and that's when it becomes painful..like an abrasion.Originally Posted by Sicycat
Wow I thought I was the only one who's cat goes to town on earlobes
Saki licks my earlobes and purrs in my ear and makes a nest in my hair all at the same time, all the time! I think its so sweet.. and it never hurts?
Is that what I am doing wrong?Originally Posted by lunasmom
Stop rubbing your earlobes with catnip and then she'll stop
Me tooooo!! Pekoe just loves my ears. At first it was only at night he liked them, now he's progressing to wanting it all the time. And I mean ALL the time. So I'm trying to get him to stop (or at least tone it down a bit) because it is getting a bit obsessive.Originally Posted by CDubbie
Oh good, I'm not the only one
Before Smidge, I've never had a cat to do this
Smidge wakes me up by lying on my side and licking my earlobe till I screech! She wont like my face or anywhere else - must...have...ear!
If I cover it up with the sheet, she gets mad and does her high pitch exasperated crying meows while pawing the sheet where the ear it!
She is not interested the ears other than morning though it seems.
