Every once in a while, bosses suddenly want to “learn to be a dog,” sticking their tongues out to lick you. What does it mean?
JaneA Kelley, Bloger Chat Consultant (Washington, USA) said: “Is there a way to gently get cats to stop licking me?”
In fact, it wasn’t just Kelley’s question, but also the many loyal lotuses serving the Patrons day and night. Cats have a lot of weird behaviors, and one of them is licking play on us. But why are they licking each other?
1. Licking is the act of connecting a relationship
Emotionally, they rub their heads, their whole body and lick the top of their heads or the inside of their ears.
First of all, be aware that older kittens and cats, even if they are not related, still get along and hug each other. Emotionally, they rub their heads, their whole body and lick the top of their heads or the inside of their ears.
In fact, they exchange scents through grooming. It also increases the bond between a pair of cats, so that the two live together more harmoniously.
If this applies to the cat licking you, it means the boss wants to be a friend, that’s it.
2. The act of licking is a way of showing affection.
Cats are considered a caring animal, especially when it comes to beneficial activities. Licking the boss is an act of showing that he feels very safe around you.
This means that you are in fact considered a parent. In other words, the cat that licks itself to clean you is like the way its mother licked herself when the boss was a kitten.
3. But maybe because they are worried
When stressed or anxious, the boss also licked frantically.
Sometimes when he is stressed or anxious, the boss also licks him frantically. This action is called anesthesia syndrome in cats. Sometimes the boss sucks on a rag, piece of plastic, or in some cases licks your skin.
In short, cats lick you for many reasons, but they are not meant to hurt you. At times like this, take the time to play with the boss. Anyway, the two are friends, aren’t they?
