Oh Double-Oh is certainly a licker. He'll do it for hours if you'd let him. I'm not exactly sure WHY he does it, but he'll lick you everywhere! Sometimes in the middle of the night when y ou're trying to sleep, he'll start licking your arm or leg... that can get annoying. But he's the first cat I've ever been around that has done this I love it, he is an extremely affectionate cat!
