Cat licking my nose-- does she love me or is she tasting to see if I'm done?

[Bossy Monkey]

I always heard that long pig is delicious.:P

[Gormy Cuss]

1. Testing out the flavor of her future midnight snack.

Cats are always look for their next food source. :P

[hippywife]

2. U haz a flavor.

:rofl:

[arcadian]

3. I always thought my kitties licking my hand was cute.

Until I realized they are doing it so I can wash the parts they can't reach.

[wartrace]

5. That's why they do it.

I have the same cats you do! I haven't figured out the nose licking thing yet. It kind of makes me uncomfortable.

[Bossy Monkey]

6. We called it nose kisses, and I'm happy to stick with that concept

However, when she misses the nose and frenches me, I'm uncomfortable with that.

[lunatica]

17. Behind their ears?

4. Ginsberg used to chew on my hair when it was really short

I discovered he really liked the taste of the John Master's Organic Vanilla Bourbon Tangerine Hair Texturizer I used. I tasted it once, and it tasted pretty good.

[SoxFan]

7. Pip does the nose thing

It's definitely her sign of affection. If one of us is feeling crappy, she hops up next to us and gives us a "Pippy kiss".

Brianna is more of a burrower and head-butter.

[UTUSN]

8. More than likely, the latter. It's all about FOOD. n/t

[Dappleganger]

9. Our Zoe not only licks me...

but she nibbles on the skin just like she does when she grooms herself.

She's grooming you just right.

[Bossy Monkey]

10. Maybe in kittyese she's telling me to trim those damn nose hairs

:P

[Jamastiene]

11. Sure beats biting and digging the one bottom fang

into the inside part of your nose where it's so sensitive. That's what Sunday Girl does to keep you still when she's cuddling up at night trying to warm up. You best not move while she's laying with you if you know what's good for you. I love that cat.

[Blue Diadem]

12. Ours usually adds a little bite after his lick.

He doesn't do noses though. Only if you're snoring, then he'll shove his nose as far up your nostril as he can, I suppose he's trying to see what's going on or else he thinks he's giving nose to nose resuscitation.

13. My cat just started tasting me too. I'm just wondering, how do they communicate across states?

I'm certain the dogs and cats are taking over.

I know. Don't ask.

Be afraid, Be very afraid. :scared:

[Bossy Monkey]

16. They are all followers of General Tiggy

If it still works, your cat(s) should come running to find out where the strange cat is. Which is strange because Tiggy doesn't sound particularly like a cat to me, but Amelia has always worshipped her.)

[Lil Missy]

19. The link does work. Tiggy talks! I thought it was cute!

[sakabatou]

14. My cat goes lick, lick, lick, lick *BITE*

[Lil Missy]

20. My kitty will bite my toes if I don't keep them hidden under covers.

I don't care about him pouncing all over me and tasting me during snooze. I can sleep through that.

But mess with my toes? Or bite them? I could become homicidal. x(

[Rob H.]

15. Mine grooms me, too

She likes to get in face and lick my eyebrows and my hair when I get home from work, and she grooms my beard sometimes, too. Maybe it's her way of trying to make me feel better after a hard day's work--or maybe she just thinks I need some styling help. :P

[JitterbugPerfume]

18. Lilith licks my clothes

I think she is trying to remove it with her little rough tongue so she can eat the goodies inside

She is only pretending to love me:wtf:

[ThomCat]

21. I love kitty kisses. I get those from my cats all the time.

That's not nearly as weird as getting groomed by one of my cats. He loves to lick my hair. His twin brother, who died last year, started that habit. He would sit on the back of the couch and lick my hair from one end of my head to the other.

I guess I'm a cat to them, and cats need to be groomed.

:P

[Bossy Monkey]

22. They can't help it; we're too delicious for words

:P

[Xipe Totec]

23. Long pig - the other white meat

I totally get it.

:evilgrin:

[triguy46]

25. Long pig tastes like Spam. Or is it Spam tastes like long pig?

[Xipe Totec]

26. Spam is too salty

There is an account from the Spanish conquistadors, after one of their ships floundered, that they caught a shark who had eaten a salted pork barrel whole. They took the barrel and used the pork from it. They found it to be much better than the regular fare, simply because it was less salty.

(no link, sorry, it's in my private library, and in Spanish)

But...

According to Boone's translation of the Codex Magliabechiano in her work, p. 213, human flesh was compared to the taste of pork. Boone further references that native Indians were fond of pork meat brought to New Spain after the conquest for this reason.

24. Was this before or after she licked her butt?

[Bossy Monkey]

27. That is the question; I'm hoping not, but I'm never sure.

Maybe it's all a brilliantly scathing editorial comment.
