    Ahhhh the licking!!

    I just wanted to ask you guys if your MC's have a thing about licking you? Basically both of my boys will lick my arms randomly through the day which I don't mind, but when they do this plus lick my face at 5am it's a different matter lol!

    So do your MC's do this and why do they do it? Also is there anything I can do to stop it?

    AFK-Matrix,
    Yes, my Ginger is also a licker, she licked me at 3:15 this am to wake me up. "Mommy, I want some food" I covered up my arms so she licks my face and gives me little love bites, "I SAID MOMMY I WANT SOME FOOD!" so I covered up my head. Then she decided to tape dance on my face and purr very loudly, until I hugged her and petted her until she wiggled free and I was able to fall back to sleep. She much thinks I am thick! hahaha I just want her to wait until the hubby gets up at 4:45 to get her canned food, she has dry food available she just is so spoiled!

    when Neevie wants a cuddle - she grabs my hands and licks them, and then rubs her head on them, and then licks some more, and rubs her head some more (I think I'm unwittingly cleaning her) - I was a bit grossed out at first and then it wasn't going away so I learned to love it.
    so that's my advise to you - learn to love it

    Mandy and Merlin don't lick but instead they rub and push their wet noses all over you! Mandy will rub so hard she will scrape her teeth on my skin and that just gives me the willies LOL!!! Merlin smears his nose all over my face at night if he wants food and starts kneading and chirping and being super annoying lol. Bengal Brat is a licker but beware its a trap LOL! She licks and makes you think Awww cute kitty kisses and then she grabs your arm and starts chewin on in and kicking with her back feet! That's her idea of "playing".

    Damur likes to lick my clothes or hear on my head )
    But he can sometimes lick my hands too, then he looks at them and realizes that they don't have fur on them and stops cleaning me.

    I think they do this as a reply to our stroking. Maybe they think that our hands clean them like their mommies when they were blind and deaf.

    For a long time, Ce-Ce would not let us stroke her fur, but she would pull my arm close to lick it. but I have had cats in the past that would lick my face in the the early mornings. One word - exfoliation. Yeppers, I was able to go for years without retin-A.

    Beau has taken to sleeping on my pillow in the gap between my head and the head board. The other night he woke me up by nibbling on my head and generally giving my hair a good groom! Who needs shampoo eh?!
