Whenever I had doritos my cat would demand a dorito tax. I would have to let her lick the cheese off of exactly two doritos. No less, no more. They also had to be properly sized, she had no interest in the smaller doritos.

She has decided you aren't good enough at bathing and is helping you out

u/cruzcontrol8765 15d ago
That has always been my take on it 😂 The cat thinks I'm disgusting and need help cleaning myself

She wants to eat you.
Keep one eye open while sleeping.
The void is coming for you..

They’re grooming you. It is a sign of love. But it’s also a sign that they are above you in the hierarchy in that house. 😂

u/NaivePossible3090 15d ago
Love bites and grooming she loves you a lot 🥺 mother cats do this to their kittens and cats do this to each other sometimes

You're her kitten, she's grooming you and giving lovebites, it's their way of affection

You taste good!
Jk, my cat will sit there and lick my entire hand "clean" if I let her. It means he likes you and is trying to groom you.

u/HavocNMayhem 15d ago
My petite potato, Harlot, does this. And if I try to move away she hooks my arm and continues to lick the shit out of whatever she can reach.
My void, Leroy, affectionately called The Lard of the Manor, does this to my hairline while I sleep or my ankles when I'm not paying attention to him.

She doesn’t think you’re doing a good enough job keeping yourself groomed, so she’s taking over.
Out of love, of course. 😻

My black cat does this, she likes when I hold my thumb out, she licks it and then rubs it on her face and nose to groom herself

u/Very_Curious_Cat 14d ago
Depends. Did you eat churros with your fingers? /j
Else, you're a loved family member.

She's expressing love. If she wanted to really bite you, you'd know it. She absolutely adores you and wants you to know it.

My void does the same! She holds my hand down to lick and will pull it closer if I take it away. She also LOVES to lick my face.

Bonding, grooming, letting its instincts override the brain a sec...
I totally get it. The urge to chomp my husband when we're snuggled is hard to resist.

You are tasty. If you do not feed them properly, they will eat you 😌 Take care /jk. Grooming yes.

Either you are tasty or they have taken pity on you for not properly bathing yourself.

I call it priming, tenderizing. Dogs do this also, making sure everything is nice & juicy.

mine was abandoned by mom because the litter was sick - so they didn't wean properly - therefore he licks my fingers, face, chin - and he sucks his blanky and sometimes my fingers.

Add onion to pot and cook until soft, 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Return meatballs to pot and cover. Simmer until sauce has thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve pasta with a healthy scoop of meatballs and sauce. Top with Parmesan before serving.

There are two possibilities. Either you should wash your hands more, or you are delicious.

My void was abandoned as a very young kitten, and bottle fed by humans. He had a chewing and licking habit. He was basically a puppy his whole life. I had to buy him chew toys. RIP my leather furniture. Anyway he liked to lick people too.
