Why does my cat lick me?

If your cat licks you it is an indicator of affection. It is the replica of a gesture that the mother did with him, internalized since he was a kitten, a real gesture of love, which shows how strong the cat considers your bond by treating you as an equal.

When a cat licks you and plays with you it is important that you do not interrupt this moment, because for the cat it is relaxing and stimulating.

In addition to this romantic motivation, there are other less romantic ones 😅

to clean you, it causes an unpleasant odor (for him)

to get your attention

to mark the territory, leaving his smell on you

he feels attracted by a smell that you have on you (food, endorphins etc)
In light of what has been said .... do you think that your cat licks you for a romantic motivation or not? 🤣
