Hi! I'm the new owner of a female, American Shorthair cat. Dana is all black, a juvenile or young adult, intelligent, and VERY affectionate. My question is this: Dana loves to lick my hand when I pet her. I know dogs like to lick their owners, but I didn't expect this from a cat. Is this usual cat behavior? What does it mean? Thank you for your help. (I've a feeling I have a lot to learn about cats).
