cat starting to lick
I have a question that hopefully someone might be able to answer. I
have a female tabby about 2 years old, that has in the last month developed a need to lick my hands every time she sits on my lap. She gets a little obsessed with it at times, and while it's not a great inconvenience, I'm wondering if it signifies a dietary deficiency of some sort. I've heard that dogs will do this if they're lacking in salt, but her diet has not changed, she eats the same food daily. My male cat doesn't do this, so I'm a little perplexed. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks |

Sometimes in the middle of the night, she'll be under the covers with me and she is licking the fingers on my hand. Very odd, as she doesn't particularly like to be handled, unless it is on her terms. So, here she is licking my fingers. I don't have a clue why she does, but I kinda like it. |
