Some cats maul shoes.
What am I missing here!? Mrs. RQSR, and myself married almost 35 years, and have had about forty cats (same count for dogs), and currently have three dogs, and sixteen cats.
The only ones in memory that lick us have been the babies. Otherwise they sit on us, and lick themselves incessantly, and gag up hairballs.
Nope the licking is something in our experience is confined to new borns, and up to adolescent. After that they are more layabout, and if they get all lovey they snuggle, rub up against us, and demand we pet them, rub their tummies, and the like.
After as many a cat as have adopted us one might think we’d have been licked thin by now. Not.
THEY lick each other YES. NOT US.
Nom nom nom!
