It is not surprising that a cat sometimes licks a person's hands or face.
But should you be wary if your pet does this very often?
In some cases, there is no reason to worry. In other situations, the pet owner will have to take serious measures.
So, what are the reasons why it starts behaving strangely?
The pet wants to attract attention
Often cats lick a person's hands to show him: "I'm bored. I want to play."
If the pet does this too often, then the owner clearly pays too little attention to his furry four-legged friend. The situation needs to be corrected.
The cat marks its territory
Perhaps the pet “turns on” the language not in order to start interacting with the person.
It is possible that the animal is simply marking the territory it considers its own.
Do you have several cats in your home? Then don't be surprised that your pets have decided to have a "competition" and have started to constantly "mark" each other.
The animal is under stress
It often happens that licking the owner is the pet's attempt to cope with stress.
It is possible that the cat was scared of something. In such a situation, you need to show affection to the animal. Perhaps you will have to show the fluffy one to the vet.
