Blue likes to lick stuff. Well, to be exact, lotion bottles, shampoo bottles, cleaner bottles... Anything like that. She used to lick glasses that had juice in them so I assumed she likes sweet stuff. She gave that up, thank goodness, because she broke MANY glasses that way. But, now I catch her in the bathroom, on the counter, licking the pump on my lotion bottle, or climbing into the cupboard under the kitchen sink looking to lick things under there! I am going to put child locks on the cupboards under the sink to keep her out of it. She also licks me A LOT if I just put lotion on.
Why do you think she does this? I think it has something to do with her vomiting, like if she has a tummyache she will lick something to make her throw up? She used to throw up every day like clock work, but now it is about 1-2 times a week or less. She sometimes goes 2-3 weeks without vomiting and then will throw up maybe 2 times in one week. She has been to the vet about it. They said that she was allergic to plastic, or she was eating too much and it was swelling in her tummy, or she has IBD, or any of many other ideas the many vets had. Since we switched her to a grain free, all canned diet the vomiting has gone WAY down. She is a Siamese cat, and I read that this is common in their breed.

It had been sitting out for MONTHS without so much as a glance from her, but I put it away after I caught her. Makes me wonder if she's a closet licker and licks things when I'm not around?
