Mostly cats lick their owners' hands simply out of love.
But sometimes such behavior of a pet can signal a problem.
We'll tell you why cats lick their owners and when this is a cause for concern.
Why does a cat lick its owner?
Typically, a cat licks its owner's hands or face to show its love. This is an instinctive behavior.
But if your pet constantly licks, tries to lick you, or persistently licks itself, it has most likely experienced severe stress.
For example, after surgery, a cat may lick itself until it becomes bald.
In such a situation, you need to give the cat maximum attention: pick it up more often, stroke it, feed it well.
If the situation does not improve after a couple of days, seek help from a veterinarian.
