Some felinely feline kitty-cat questions that are probably STOOOOOPID
Sorry about these probably being STOOOOOPID questions that may have
been asked here before already many times in the past, but I'm new here, and often when I played with my very playful, affectionate, friendly, & all-around outstanding female cat, she would sort of bite my foot or toes very gently, softly, & slowly, and then lick the same spot or area on my foot/toes several times. And sometimes she would just go ahead & do the licking without any of the very gentle, soft, & slow biting first to start with. Why did she do that? Why would my cat do that? Also, do cats have any sense of humor in any way(s) at all, can any cats be ticklish at all, can any cats ever get & suffer from obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD), and finally, do cats ever dream or have any nightmares while sleeping? Any attempt(s) or effort(s) to reply in any helpful manner at all will be well-appreciated - thank you. |

Some do it more gently than others. Since I have psoriases, my skin is pretty thin, and they sometimes draw blood, but I don't mind, because I know they are doing it out of affection and don't mean to hurt me. |

Adam Princess (RB 16) did this once. She jumped straight up ready to fight and then looked really confused. She then gave a sigh and settled down again saying "It was only a dream. MLB |

Some felinely feline kitty-cat questions that are probablySTOOOOOPID
What about the part where the cat licks the toes or feet, sometimes
right after the gentle & soft biting? Is that also a way of showing affection? Thanks.

Cats groom each other (or other creatures) as a sign of affection and exchanging of scents. The biting is to try to undo the knots in your fur -- to a cat, what else could anything that hard be but knotted fur? Adam |

I've never thought of it, but I always presumed that they knew it was skin and that we hoomans were just fur challenged. Cat also lick wounds to help them heal. (Their saliva kills bacteria to some extent), and they are showing that, "yes I gave you love bites, but I'll help any damage to heal. I care about you." -- Regards, Fred (remove FFFf from my email address to reply by email) |
