My cat spends ages licking my fingers and hands. Why? My cat -a Long Hair Domestic - is about 15 years of age and I have had her for approximately 1 month now and she has been licking me right from the start. Prior to me owning her she lived out of a shed at my place of work, a boarding kennels and cattery.

My kitty is 5now & hes licked me since he was a kitten. I jokingly call him a licky kitty,cuz he will go on for quite a while 'grooming' me. He licks my hands too,as well as my feet&legs&arms&elbows,whatever is in his reach,lol. I consider it a sign of affection,because he usually follows with a sweet little mew&then lays down to rest. I guess licking is how they show their love for their human Moms! ♥♡^_^
