Arwen will lick my arms, but I don't let her do it for too long as it tickles
She will be grooming herself whilst lying down on me, then she turns her head and licks my arms randomly...then goes back to herself

Trout does but only sometimes...it really freaks me out when she does. She gets right up above my head on the bed while I am sleeping and licks my hair and her purring is so loud it wakes me up

Most of my cats will groom me briefly now and then, but Carmelo loves to groom me. He holds on with those huge paws of his and licks until it hurts, which doesn't take long with his very rough tongue.

Sunny grooms my hair. He will go on forever if I let him, he went for 10 minutes once. It feels good, but sometimes he starts on my forehead and that hurts

I really love it when she licks my face, not cause it feels particularly good, because it doesn't, but it's the best exfoliation treatment ever!
ROFL !!!

Barney, my boyfriends cat likes to lick. If my boyfriend is sat on the floor with his back against the sofa, Barney will sit behind him on the sofa and lick his head. If i stay over at his house he has sometimes had to sleep with his hands on my head to stop Barney licking my hair. Or Barney will sit next to me and lick my arm. My boyfriends favourite prevention though is to lick him back and see how he likes it, seems to work but i'm sure as hell not trying it.

You have a cougar? Wow, i bet he's handful? What's it like looking after a large wild cat?

Chloe will groom us, almost on demand. If you just stick your face in front of hers, she'll start licking you. It's so cute.


Mattie and Henry can't be bothered.

My best friend's sister's cat, Tanzie will groom us, sometimes, but you usually have to get her really happy and purrzy. =P

Stratus often grooms me, even does the light nipping that they do to "scrub" their fur. =3 He's such a momma's boy. <3

Lol, John, that would be awesome, having a cougar nicely grooming you...

Yes I do
My wife and I live with our cougar, 4 bobcats and 4 domestics. Yes, they are a handful and a tremendous amount of work. Living with our wild cats is one of the greatest experiences of my life. To have such a close bond with these great cats is truly a gift from God for me

It is such a wonderful act of love from them, but boy it sure hurts
Their tongue is like 40 grit sand paper.

When one of my cats kittens (that we had to sell on) was young, he licked my hair when I would lie down but none of the others did it. Nor have the others that we kept whilst they have grown up.

Sometimes they will lick my hand but nine times out of ten it turns into a playful bite which sometimes is quite uncomfortable lol.

I dont think I would like it if my cats licked my face to be honest. Especially as they lick their privates with that very same tounge!

Grabben licks my husbands hair - it actually smells really good after he's done. He only sticks to one or two spots though. I've had the pleasure of having Grabben lick my forehead in one spot for several minutes. (ouch!) - he's got a rough little tongue!

My orange baby Crush... will groom me to NO end! lol it's cute, he does it whenever he gets picked up, and always before he sits on me for a nap. Face, shoulders, hair... anything that's showing he'll groom, and won't stop until he thinks I look good! lol He grooms my husband's hair, too, as well as our other kitty Waffles. It's so cute!
