My newish cat (4 months) is constantly licking my ankles and when i go to
pet him, he grabs my hand with his paw and brings it to his mouth for
licking.

Does anyone know why he is doing this? Affection? Salt deficiency? Oral
fixation????

Anyone with a cat can understand this raspy tongue thing is not too
pleasant...but I wouldn't want to hurt his cat feelings either by never
letting him do it.
