Kitten licking eyes and nose of her human mommy

It's because they love us! Marbles licks my eyelids sometimes - it's so cute and tickles a lot!

Mac grooms me all the time. He licks my face and will knead my hair. Sometimes, he will take my hair in his teeth and tug it, kind of like straightening it out if it gets messy. They do things like this sometimes. I wouldn't worry very much, this kind of behavior is pretty normal, and cute too!

That sounds so sweet!

Sunny used to try to lick my head. He especially loved it when my hair was still wet.

My 3 youngest (Sabrina, Sassy & Josh) have been licking everything since they were tiny. I got them as 2 week old bottle babies, so not sure if it's a nursing thing, or if it's genetics. These 3 young ones will lick EVERYTHING, your skin, your hair, your clothes, the furniture, my shower curtain, sometimes the floor, basically anything. It's rather cute sometimes, but other times it gets a bit annoying. lol I wouldn't trade it for anything though because it's just so 'them'.

Pooky & Bear were bottle babies but got them at 4 weeks old and they don't lick everything.

Creamsicle would wash my face forever if I'd let her but she has the roughest tongue I've ever known a cat to have.

Don Juan has always been a "kisser." (His resume at the Humane Society said "likes to lick".) I figure he's a big fan of salt on the skin. And I love it.
