| 1539.1 | I thought she was just giving me kisses | WITNES::MACONE |  | Tue Jul 12 1988 07:59 | 4 | 
|  |     Portia does the same thing.  And since she was abandoned as a kitten
    the answer that CAT FANCY gives explains the behavior to me.

| 1539.2 | so does Nippa | FRAGLE::PELUSO |  | Tue Jul 12 1988 08:19 | 6 | 
|  |     Nippa, whos mommy was too sick to take care of her babies, does
    that too.  I have always wondered about that.  I think it is kinda
    cute in a way.

| 1539.3 | That's right. Nibble my fingers too! | MARRHQ::KORCHNAK |  | Tue Jul 12 1988 09:07 | 5 | 
|  |     Shanti does it too, as well as nibbling on my fingers -- which she
    licked and nibbled all night long last night! (I hate it when she
    licks my nose or eyelids -- yuk!)

| 1539.4 | Clean food! | IAMOK::HTAYLOR | Me and my lil' pots o' purrs. | Tue Jul 12 1988 10:12 | 7 | 
|  |     At the Boston show, when snooks was up in a ring, she began to lick
    the judge's finger.  The judge looked at her and said, "That's right!
     Clean it before you decided to bite it!"  And that's exactly what
    she did.  After she licked the judge's finger, she bit it!

| 1539.5 | So-So was just so. | PIPA::SECMAIL | new kid on the block | Tue Jul 12 1988 15:00 | 14 | 
|  |     I had a cat when I was younger named So-So.  He was abandoned and
    we took him in.  So-So liked to suck (not lick) your hair and ears
    if he slept with you when you woke up in the morning one side of
    your hair would be soaked.
    
    After being hit by a car one day we took him to the vet, I handed
    him to the nurse and he went straight for her hair.  the nurse laughed
    I was very embarrassed.  He had abroken hip!
    
    So-So never cared who you were, he would lick anyone who bothered
    to pick him up.

| 1539.6 | Suckie-Face Lara! | EDUC8::TRACHMAN |  | Tue Jul 12 1988 17:41 | 5 | 
|  |     My Lara sucks and licks!  Boy, she sure can soak anything
    she picks in seconds.  We call her suckie-face.  She, too,
    licks before she sinks her choppers in!  But, she really
    understands when I say: NO BITE .  Understands, but doesn't
    "always" stop!!  Brat that she is!

| 1539.7 | Licky-Lickey, prod prod | SNOC01::COUTTS | Brilliance is just a sideline... | Thu Jul 14 1988 20:12 | 12 | 
|  |     Well, I have one, Venom, who was taken of his Mum at 6 weeks (Hes
    a sydney silver abby, and because he had a necklace the breeder
    wanted to get rid of him in a hurry - they were experimental breeds
    over here (Oz) at the time). He licks me all the time and sometimes
    his passion is almost embarressing (NO! - it is embarressing).
    
    On the other hand, wee little Sirocco licks me and my boyfriend
    and she had a "normal" childhood. With her Mum for 14 weeks. But
    she loves to mother kittens, which she has never had. I think with
    her it a strong maternal drive that has never been fulfilled.

|  |     I feel much better knowing that the reason Kalliste licks me is
    because I smell like a female cat in heat!!
