A cat licks its owner's hands - is this normal?
Every cat owner has at least once encountered the situation when the cat began to lick his hands.
Usually, few people pay attention to this, since such care for the owner is considered normal.
The pet may want to thank the person for delicious food or is trying to attract attention.
But it happens that such behavior indicates some problems.
If the animal is nervous and actively licks the hand, this may indicate that the cat is experiencing pain.
For example, after sterilization or during illness.
This behavior also occurs in cases of stress. This can happen if there are new pets in the house, as well as in situations where the cat has experienced a long journey and relocation.
If such behavior is observed in an animal frequently, then you should seek help from a specialist to prevent serious problems with the physical and mental health of your pet.
