Going to need a bit more information here! Licking what? when? why is it out of hand?

Sam got into the habit of licking my shirt. He loves knitted things, and goes crazy licking until they are soaking wet.

Now, I just hold him firmly, say no! and physically stop him. When he starts, I repeat that, holding him by the "shoulders". Then he settles down and just purrs and snuggles instead of licking. It's getting to the point where I can just say NO and he stops.

So, if you work at it, you can teach a cat to stop licking.
