Question: Why does my cat lick (舔) me?

My cat is one year old. She is very shy. She often plays alone. But these days, she often jumps onto my knees and licks my hand, even when I’m working. It makes me feel a little worried. Is there anything wrong with her? Does she just like the salt on my hand? Is it just a sign of love? Or all of the above?

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Susan Smith

Answer:

Yes. Your cat licks you because of “all of the above”. But most often, it is a sign of love. Another way of showing love is biting on your nose or your face gently. Also, looking at you and blinking (眨) her eyes is a way of saying “I love you.” When she blinks her eyes, you can respond (回应) in the same way. I do that with my cats all the time.

So there is nothing to worry about. Just enjoy her licking you!
