Cat's Licking??

Milo will sometimes lick my hand as Im petting her.... kind of like a dog would. Ive never heard of a cat doing this... Is this common? She is the friendliest cat of the 3, likes the most attention.... and it is in more of a loving way... not mean or "leave me alone". She does it when I stop petting her.

peedoodle does the exact same thing if I pet him, i guess its like a kiss or he is petting back? its very loving.

She rubs her face up against you and then will give 3-5 licks... she just started this in the last 2 weeks or so to me. We've had them since babies, 6 weeks old. They turned one Jan 16th.

This is quite normal! Out of my 6 cats, only two lick, but they sure do seem to love to lick, lick, and lick some more!

thanks so much! Im glad it's pretty normal. I've never heard of a cat doing this

Don't be surprised if she starts "grooming" you, too. Our cat not only licks my hands, but also my ears and the back of my head, purring like a motorboat the whole time.

that reminds me of our foster kitty Penka, she used to lay on our pillows at night time and lick our heads. we assumed that because she has been spayed and never got to be a mother, she would be our mother.

When Pepperpot starts licking it is difficult to stop her! LOL - she has the roughest tounge - worse then sandpaper, whereas Excalibur has a tongue as soft as velvet! It tickles!
