Re: Licking addiction!!


Aww. That's very sweet, but I can also see why it could be an unwanted behaviour if it's chronic. The problem is it seems like quite a natural behaviour, so it may be difficult to alter. Has he responded at all to being locked out of the room? x

Re: Licking addiction!!

Years ago, I was told the same, thats its a sign the kitten left Mum or Litter Mates too soon, but I have seen it so often that I know thats just not the case at all.

Sucking on a jumper or something, can indeed be a sign of that, but licking or paddling ( kneading ) is just a contentment thing..learnt from Mum.

Mum licks her kittens to clean them, but they see it as a comfort thing too, so they honour us, but licking to comfort us... I know, it drives me nuts too...but thats cats for you...haha

Dorrie does it to me. Generally if I haven't had the time to sit and give her a proper cuddle.

Re: Licking addiction!!

Tilly licks me, but its only two licks when she purring and giving me lots of love. But, its just me. I can't understand why she only does it to me though.
I find it strange because she is the only cat that has done it out of all the cats we had.

(BTW she was weaned from her mum too soon because we had her @ 4 weeks.)
