Does your cat try to clean you?

My gray striped cat, Eidolo (thanks to a MyLot member from a reply of the red sky last month), loves to do the same thing. Whenever I wake up, in bed in my room, or in the living room, Eidolo follows me around, purring a lot in affection, sometimes jumps onto my bed, finds my hands, and licks them for long periods of time. Even in the living room the kitten follows me there, and I lower my hand, and licks it for a long period of time. Felt good as it tried to "clean" me. Perhaps it's the cat's way of saying it loves me.

My cats try and do it all the time, it drives me insane ...lol.. I presume it is that they accept as you as theirs..

My cat tries to clean me all the time. Sometimes I protest and tell him the "Skin Bar" is closed.

My cat doesn't try to lick me just mainly rub up against me like most cats do or else sit or stand exactly where I'm trying to do something. My brothers cat on the other hand is an unusual one. It loves to suck things and has done this since it was a kitten. He's suck on your clothes or skin it doens't matter. We're not sure why he does this but someone said maybe it was because he was taken away from his mother too early.

i wished my cat would lick me sometimes,he spends allmost every hour of the day cleaning himself and the other half sleeping,i saw him licking his toy mouse today like it was his pet :) priceless

my cat licks my hair

Both our cats do this, and I don't think it is something they will grow out of either. In fact, I think it has gotten worse since they turned two! Before just the male cat did it, now they both do it. Same thing with the cat "massages", the female use to only do it to me, not they both give me massages - especially when they want something!

It is your cat's way of saying you are part of my family and I love you. Its actually very cute. My kitties do it all the time.

well i love to be with cats but iam living on 4th floor so its dificult to place cats at my home but i love cats very much my friend have 4 cats and i love them so much, but i dont like to cat clean me yakh i just love to love them not like them to clean with their toungs

haha yes my cats "clean" me as well. I think it is a sign of affection. In the animal world they clean each other. Also, our skin is salty so they like the taste of it. I don't really mind I let my cat lick me. ALthough once she licked my eyelid and that creeped me out.

Well my 5 week old kitten doesn't clean me, it's just sharping nails into me and biting me xD Most of the time kitten is playing and sleeping ...

I've got one that does it all the time. He loves to do it. I don't mind it in small doses. I don't want to get on to him, because in his mind, he's showing me that he loves me. But I can't stand to let him do it for long. I'll pick him up and go put him next to another cat and he can clean that cat.

it's so funny. I have three rats.I found they like wash them face very much.they like eating sunflower seeds .I put them in a big cage which has little house,ladders,pulley. they are not afraid of cats.
